Byrne plays a visitor to Virgil, Texas, who introduces us to the citizens of the town during preparations for its Celebration of Specialness. As shot by cinematographer Ed Lachman, Texas becomes a hyper-realistic late-capitalist landscape of endless vistas, shopping malls, and prefab metal buildings. In \u003cem\u003eTrue Stories\u003c\/em\u003e, Byrne uses his songs to stitch together pop iconography, voodoo rituals, and a singular variety show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eByrne calls the record “An immersive audio voyage into the little town of Virgil, Texas, in the mid-eighties.” He continues, “I always imagined that the music written for \u003cem\u003eTrue Stories\u003c\/em\u003e should be heard as it is in the film. It makes the most sense this way. Me singing the song that was written for John Goodman’s character, Louis Fine, always felt weird to me. It was written for that character, not for me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Road Song – David Byrne, Meredith Monk *\u003cbr\u003e 2.
