The long awaited and much anticipated New Year is finally here. I've been biding my time for months now so I could make the announcement that Rye Randa (Singer/songwriter/producer), Michael Johns(American Idol Finalist), and Jeff Foxworth (Missfodus Publishing) fans have all wanted to hear. The three artists have teamed up to do the soundtrack for Shaun White's documentary DVD Don't Look Down, which will be released on January 6, 2009.
I spoke to Rye back in October of 2008 in an interview article first published here at BC Magazine titled "Rye Randa – Musician Extraordinaire". Although we heard about the soundtrack for the film then, there were many questions that couldn't be answered at the time. 
Rye most graciously allowed me a follow up interview to answer the details we've all wondered about regarding the new documentary soundtrack.
They say all good things come to those who wait, but this news is so much better than good. Your patience is about to be rewarded in full, so I'll go straight to the interview.
Be sure to keep reading when this bit is done to find out the rest of the ongoing threesomes antics and future plans. There are a few must see videos I'll tell you about before we're through. Without further adieu, here's the news of the soundtrack and what to expect straight from Rye Randa himself.
You mentioned in our previous interview that the soundtrack would include additional songs not heard on the documentary. How many additional songs are on the soundtrack?
Five additional songs. 17 total.
Is the soundtrack being done as an independent project or is it only included as part of the DVD?
It is being distributed separately by Fontana Distribution, and will also be available on iTunes.
So the DVD and Soundtrack can be bought individually?
Yes separately.
I know Michael Johns has recently announced that his management is TRP (Three Ring Projects) and he's released his first single "Another Christmas" on the TRP label. It's my understanding they also distribute exclusively through Fontana. Is the Don't Look Down soundtrack being put on the TRP Label and under your production company?
Yes it's a Three Ring Projects release, distributed by Fontana, and produced by Foxworth, Johns, Randa.
Do you have an actual release date for the soundtrack?
Not a solid date as of yet, but I'll keep you posted.

Well said Felicia. I can't wait to see what else these guys have in store for us. I wasn't able to see the last tour, so I'm looking forward to any tour possibilities in the future.

Thanks for the great article, you've done it again Ultimate! You have a fan here in Canada. Oh!! I must say those are 3 of the most beatiful and talented men I have ever seen in one picture, they ALL have STAR quality!!

Lisa, thank you so much for your continued readership and following the great talents we post here. I'm a fan of all three of the men too and this soundtrack is going to blow their fans away. I must say having the three of them in one photo was purely a stroke of good luck. I happened across the photo while looking at pics on Rye's MySpace. I wrote Rye to ask his permission to use the photo unless he had the soundtrack art. In his gracious reply, he sent the album art and offered his permission to use both. Lucky for all of us!
