Aug 07, 2013 Neko Case By Mike Hilleary

Soon to premiere its fourth season, HBO’s Boadwalk Empire will be accompanied by a new all-star compilation of music capturing the music of the Prohibition era. Overseen by producer Stewart Lerman and Boardwalk Empire music supervisor Randall Poster, the forthcoming soundtrack features contributions by Elvis Costello, St. Vincent, The National‘s Matt Berninger, Neko Case, Karen Elson, Rufus Wainwright, Loudon Wainwright III, and Patti Smith, Liza Minnelli.

”Boardwalk Empire provides an incredible back drop for music,” says Poster. “It’s been a steady treat to mark the passing of time in song over the course of four seasons. Terry Winters, Martin Scorsese and the entire Boardwalk Empire team inspire the sound of the episodes as we move from the streets and alleys of Atlantic City to the smoky rooms of Al Capone’s Chicago and on down into the tropics of Florida. This compilation celebrates the mastery of all the artists involved.”
