The New Hawaii Five-O

Just released today, Hawaii Five-0: Original Songs From The Television Series. check out the list of artists: Bob Dylan, Train, Goo Goo Dolls, The Swell Season, Switchfoot, Jimmy Cliff, Ziggy Marley and ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro. Amazing.

Here’s the low-down from CBS:

HAWAII FIVE-0 producers listened to dozens of submitted tracks before choosing the ones best suited for this season’s upcoming storylines.  Hawaii Five-0:  Original Songs From The Television Series stands apart from TV soundtracks which merely compile a selection of songs that were heard in a series’ previous episodes.  Instead, as a result of this creative process, this collection features mostly brand-new and previously unreleased tracks that will be integrated into upcoming episodes this season.

Of particular note from this collection is a previously unreleased Bob Dylan track, “Don’t Ever Take Yourself Away.”  This island-flavored gem dates from recording sessions in the early 1980s, and was newly mixed and mastered for this soundtrack after being locked in the vaults for nearly 30 years.

As HAWAII FIVE-0 Executive Producer Peter Lenkov explains, “Music plays a big role in our show, and we are thrilled that so many great artists have provided us with exclusive tracks that can be so well integrated into our second season episodes.  As a result, fans will be able to experience a soundtrack album that is truly representative of Hawaii Five-0.”

The soundtrack also includes the first commercial release of the “Hawaii Five-0 Main Title Theme” that was newly recorded for the series launch in 2010.  Also featured is a suite of the show’s score, “Book ‘em Danno,” produced and arranged by Brian Tyler and Keith Power, which they assembled specifically for this album.  Songs featured in the show’s first season –”Closer” from Corinne Bailey Rae and Hawaiian standard “Hi’ilawe” from John Cruz – are also included.

More casting news this time from TV Guide Magazine:

Richard T. Jones (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) will play the recurring role of the Lt. Governor and you can bet that he won’t be as lenient on McGarrett and the Five-O team as the last Governor!

Alex O’Loughlin and Michelle Borth share a quiet moment! Or rather, Steve and Catherine do.
