A biopic on Ronald Regan starring Dennis Quaid in the title role is set to hit theaters on August 30. So far, the star-studded soundtrack has garnered as many headlines as the film itself, with Bob Dylan, Gene Simmons, and Clint Black all recording new cover songs that are featured in the movie. Dylan recorded a cover of Cole Porter’s “Don’t Fence Me In” which plays during the picture’s closing credits. Quaid is the third cousin of Gene Autry, who released a classic version of “Don’t Fence Me In” back in 1944.

“I was honored to have Bob join our film,” Quaid said. “We gave him the freedom to do any song he wanted to do, whether an original or a cover, and he chose ‘Don’t Fence Me In.’ That was extra special since it was a song that Gene made famous. Bob is a great lover of the American Songbook and we were delighted with the way he delivered the song. He’s a national treasure and was the perfect addition to the film.” KISS’ Simmons covered the 1930s classic “Stormy Weather,” while country legend Black tackled John Denver’s “Country Roads.” (Spin)
