North Country details a groundbreaking sexual harassment lawsuit that changed a nation's laws and challenged its attitudes. Fittingly, the soundtrack features four songs by anti-establishment figurehead Bob Dylan: the familiar "Lay, Lady, Lay," "Sweetheart Like You" and "Do Right To Me Baby," plus the new track "Tell Ol' Bill." Other standouts include Kim Carnes' hit "Bette Davis Eyes" and Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London."

Fans of the Broadway musical can breathe a collective, theatrical sigh of relief. Many of the original Broadway cast members, including Taye Diggs, star and sing in the film and most of the rock opera's most popular songs (with the notable exception of "Christmas Bells") are included in this two-disc set. Among the highlights are "Seasons of Love," "Out Tonight," "La Vie Boheme" and new track "Love Heals."

Universal
It is a universally acknowledged truth that Jane Austen fans, ready to swoon to this fall's big-screen version of Pride & Prejudice, will find themselves equally bewitched by the film's score. The cherished 1813 novel is set to the classical -- but never pompous -- music of Dario Marianelli (The Brothers Grimm composer). The solo piano in much of this score is largely associated with Elizabeth Bennet and deftly captures both the period and the emotional core of the film.
