HURRICANE, THE (LTD RED 180G VINYL)

Double 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket sleeve includes etched D-side and PVC protective sleeve. The Hurricane tells the story of the wrongly convicted for a triple murder boxer Rubin 'The Hurricane' Carter. A powerful collection of songs is integrated in this epic movie classic. The tracklist consists of song like the impressive hip-hop version of Bob Dylan's 'Hurricane'. Dylan's track is also included, just like soul, jazz and hip-hop songs by Ray Charles, Etta James, Black Star and The Roots. The musical statements are translated to the storyline of the movie. As a companion piece to the movie it's a worthwhile album to have.
