Ken Burns + Trent Reznor + Vietnam War = New Soundtrack Album

Ken Burns’ much-hyped ten-part documentary series on the Vietnam War begins September 17 on PBS. To make sure he nailed the music, he hired Trent Reznor to create something that comes in two parts. The first is the score for the series while the second features original material from the era. Everything will be released as both a double CD and a triple vinyl set. Here are the tracklistings:
