John Mellencamp and Stephen King (with help from T Bone Burnett) have come together to write and record a soundtrack for a near-finished musical called 'Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. It's not clear when and if the musical will make its full-scale debut. Sheryl Crow dominates the soundtrack, but other famous faces attached to the music include Elvis Costello, Kris Kristofferson, Taj Mahal and actors Matthew McConaughey and Meg Ryan

Termed a "Southern gothic musical," Ghost Brothers of Darkland County was scripted by novelist Stephen King with the music coming from maverick heartland rocker John Mellencamp, a collaboration a bit left-field for both artists. This set includes Mellencamp's songs interspersed with key dialogue from King's libretto, and while the story might be too complex - essentially, it's the tale of two brothers involved in a murder/suicide whose ghosts haunt an isolated cabin and whose tragic deeds and consequent fate seems about to be repeated by their living nephews - to be.
Co-conspirators stephen king, john mellencamp, & t bone burnett. Present: Ghost brothers of darkland county. A pretty awesome spectacle. Bert Osbourne, Atlanta Journal –Constitution. AEG Live has announced the southern gothic, supernatural musical Ghost Brothers of Darkland County will tour across North America this Fall. After Mellencamp brought the story idea to King and the musical developed, it became clear to the collaborators that Ghost Brothers had taken them into unfamiliar territory - and they liked it that way. "John can make rock & roll records and I can write books for the rest of our lives," says King, "but that’s the safe way to do it, and that’s no way to live if you want to stay creative. We were willing to be educated, and at our age, that’s an accomplishment.

Last year's collaboration between John Mellencamp, Stephen King and T Bone Burnett, the musical Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County was an intriguing mix of talents and will be revisted with the release of a documentary and album on June 4th. Tackling the material that was written by Mellencamp and produced by T Bone Burnett are folks like Neko Case, Elvis Costello, Taj Mahal and Ryan Bingham. For the most part, the songs are folksy tunes that reflect the musical's rural Georgia setting and characters.
It subsequently transferred to a sold-out run at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County centers on the story of a 1957 tragedy that haunts a small Mississippi town. A recording of the show was announced for forthcoming release in 2010. Though no formal release date is set, the T Bone Burnett-produced album is expected to feature Kris Kristofferson, Elvis Costello, Roseanne Cash, Neko Case, Sheryl Crow and Mellencamp, among others.
