Varèse Sarabande and Craft Recordings have announced a soundtrack album for the documentary Little Richard: I Am Everything. The album features some Little Richard’s best-known hits, as well as two previously unreleased covers from Valerie June and Cory Henry. Also included is a track from the film’s original score composed by Tamar-kali (Mudbound, Shirley, The Assistant, Palmer). The soundtrack is now available to stream/download on all major digital music services, including Amazon. A CD version is set to be released on September 8 (visit Amazon to pre-order) and a vinyl edition is scheduled to come out this December (click here to order). A “Tutti Frutti” color presssing of the LP edition is available to order exclusively on the labels’ websites. Little Richard: I Am Everything is directed by Lisa Cortés and tells the story of the Black queer origins of rock n’ roll and explores the whitewashed canon of American pop music to reveal the innovator Richard Penniman. The documentary, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, was released in select theaters this past April and on VOD by Magnolia Pictures and will be coming out on Blu-ray and DVD on July 18.
