The concert, which was originally filmed for a Showtime documentary, will be released as a live album on January 15, 2015.
Entitled Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of “Inside Llewyn Davis," the concert album features performances by Jack White, Elvis Costello, Conor Oberst, Mumford and Sons' Marcus Mumford and The Decemberists' Colin Meloy, as well as appearances by members of the film's cast, including Oscar Issac, Cary Mulligan and Adam Driver.
"In order to get attention for a film that was not exactly on the beat we decided to throw a concert featuring the actors and musicians who had performed in the movie and on the soundtrack," says Burnett in a statement. "We also invited members of the extraordinary community of musicians who have coalesced around this old music -- and have kept it alive in the wake of the most recent technological revolution -- to join us that night. We asked them to perform an old song and one of their new songs."
For a taste of what the album will hold, you can view a trailer for the original documentary capturing the concert on Showtime's YouTube page.
