Cameron Crowe's 'Elizabethtown' & Jim James

I just watched 'Elizabethtown,' the 2005 film by Cameron Crowe. It for the last five years has been a film I watch once a year, nothing impressive. But upon my watch this time around, I noticed a familiar face. It was Jim James of My Morning Jacket. He plays in the fabricated band 'Rukus.' In the film they do a cover of Lynryd Skynrd's "Freebird," which he produced for the film's soundtrack. Throughout the film he even has a few small wordless cameos.

I also stumbled upon an album by Ryan Adams, titled 'Elizabethtown Sessiions.' These tunes were roughly put together and recorded rather quickly in the studio for the purpose of the film.
