Mvula, Cody Chesnutt and Alabama Shakes.

Key’s stunning original track “Queen Of The Field (Patsey’s Song,)” the
Alabama Shakes heartfelt performance of “Driva Man,” Gary Clark Jr’s
“Freight Train” and the beautiful duet “Misery Chain” from Chris Cornell
featuring Joy Williams of the Civil Wars. The soundtrack also includes a
rare performance of “Roll Jordan Roll” featuring the full cast,

“12
Years A Slave is a stunningly powerful film. I was so moved when I saw
it. I felt every minute of it and was so inspired to contribute to the
music of the soundtrack. This album brings together some incredible
artists from different places and different genres who have all been
touched by the film. When artists are inspired by great art, it makes us
want to create. This album is the result of that inspiration.” – John Legend
