One Fast Move Or I'm Gone

A few years ago Jay Farrar of Son Volt and Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie contributed the soundtrack to a documentary called One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur. Obviously based on Kerouac's novel, Farrar and Gibbard adapted his writing into some folky jams. I remember not being terribly impressed by the soundtrack back when it was released in 2008, but having Kerouac on the mind has given me a new appreciation. I haven't been able to track down the actual documentary as of yet, but they have contributing all the big names- Ferlinghetti, McClure, a number of Cassady's; plus, a whole slough of other artists and experts.

Anyways, here is one song off the twelve song soundtrack. If you aren't familiar with it, please check it out!
