Commenting on the album, Liza Richardson says: "Working on 'Parenthood' is a music supervisor's dream. I'm working with extremely creative pros. These are people who love music and understand how to put the right song in the right scene and effectively help tell a story. The editors, the writers, the execs all make a huge contribution to the way the show sounds."
Adds Jason Katims: "I am tremendously proud of the caliber of artists who've lent their voices to 'Parenthood,' and to this amazing soundtrack."
Season two of "Parenthood" will premiere on NBC on Tues., Sept. 14. The show, which was number one in its time slot last season, is produced by Oscar-winning producers Ron Howard and Brian Grazer ("A Beautiful Mind," "Frost"/"Nixon") and show runner Jason Katims ("Friday Night Lights"). A comedic yet heartfelt and thought-provoking series, "Parenthood" follows four grown siblings of the far-from-perfect Braverman clan as they try to balance kids and careers, dreams and commitments and romance...or a total lack thereof.
