The WB drama series "One Tree Hill"
has spawned a soundtrack and tour.
The 14-song album, due Jan. 25 on Maverick/Warner Sunset
Records, features tracks from Gavin DeGraw , Sheryl Crow ,
Travis, Keane and Jimmy Eat World.
The Wreckers (a duo consisting of Michelle Branch and
Jessica Harp), Tyler Hilton and Bethany Joy Lenz (a co-star of
"One Tree Hill") also appear on the soundtrack. Together, the
three acts will embark on a monthlong U.S. tour beginning in
February.
The soundtrack has several exclusive songs, including
DeGraw's live version of "I Don't Want to Be" (the show's theme
song), Crow's acoustic take on "The First Cut Is the Deepest,"
the Wreckers' "The Good Kind" and the Hilton/Lenz duet "When
the Stars Go Blue."
The acts will perform Jan. 25 on MTV's "Total Request
Live." ("One Tree Hill" co-star Hilarie Burton is also an MTV
VJ.)
In addition, the Wreckers and Hilton will appear in the
Feb. 8 episode of "One Tree Hill," and Fuse will air "Celebrity
Tastemaker: One Tree Hill" Jan. 24.
Ratings for "One Tree Hill" have continued to grow since
its 2003 debut. According to Nielsen Media Research, the series
has averaged 4.7 million U.S. viewers per episode for the
2004-05 season to date, compared with an episode average of 3.5
million viewers for last season.
Warner Home Video will release the DVD set "One Tree Hill:
The Complete First Season" Jan. 25.
Another WB series, the drama "Summerland," also will
release a soundtrack. The 10-song collection, due March 22 on
Treadstone Records/Image Entertainment, will feature tracks
