Actors Oscar Isaac, Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan sing out in directors Joel and Ethan Coen’s latest film, which recreates the bohemian charm of the 1960s Greenwich Village folk scene. Justin delivers an exuberant “Please Mr. Kennedy” and joins Mumford & Sons’ Marcus Mumford and others on a stirring acapella rendition of Irish prison ballad “The Auld Triangle.” For authenticity’s sake, tracks by legends Bob Dylan and Dave Van Ronk (on whose memoir the film is loosely based) are also included.
