‘Sons of Anarchy’ Soundtrack Volume 2 Details

Columbia Records and FX are releasing Sons of Anarchy Songs of Anarchy: Vol. 2 on November 19, 2012 with the album’s first track being a never-before-heard recording of “Sympathy for the Devil” by Jane’s Addiction. And among the 13 tracks on the album is one by series star Katey Sagal who teams up with Sons of Anarchy‘s house band, The Forest Rangers, on “To Sir with Love.”

The Forest Rangers is made up of SOA music composer Bob Thiele, Greg Leisz (guitar/banjo), John Philip Shenale (keyboards), Lyle Workman (guitar), Dave Way (recording Engineer and Sergeant at Arms), Davey Faragher (bass), Brian Macleod (drums), and Velvet Revolver guitarist Dave Kushner.

“When Jane’s Addiction said they were into the idea of doing ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ for the show, we were completely blown away. This was made all the more sweet because theirs was the first and only door we knocked on. Jane’s Addiction is one of the few post 60’s/70’s, iconic bands that resonates with our show’s mythology. They have typified rebellion from their very beginnings. It seemed a natural fit between a band and a song with so many layers of meaning to the Sons of Anarchy narrative. I can proudly say that the end product speaks for itself. Working with them, as a band and as individuals, was an incredibly satisfying experience,” stated Thiele.

And for fans of Jane’s Addiction, be sure to check out Dave Navarro as he guest stars in the last two episodes of this season playing “a member of the Byz Lats gang with close ties to Nero (Jimmy Smits).”
