The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 And Beyond was released Tuesday and is already the #1 album on iTunes. Neko Case wrote and contributed "Nothing To Remember" to this great project, and it's also available for immediate download. The CD can be purchased on Amazon or wherever music is sold.

Produced by T Bone, the album features 16 brand-new and exclusive tracks by many of music’s top artists who’ve drawn from themes embodied in The Hunger Games story to craft their songs. The Hunger Games will be released in theaters and IMAX on March 23, 2012.

"Leave the McMansions to run-of-the-mill rock stars. Indie musician Neko Case put her inimitable stamp on a historic Vermont farm, with quirky salvage, bold new finds, and more than a few heirloom seeds."
