Chris Isaak 

Grace of My Heart

The film was shown at the 1996 Venice Film Festival (Special Event).

Edna Buxton is thought to be a composite of several actual songwriters, most obviously Carole King, whose former husband and songwriting partner, Gerry Goffin, collaborated on the soundtrack.

Several musical talents appear in small roles in the film, including singers Chris Isaak (as Matthew Lewis), Jill Sobule (as a talent show contestant), and Shawn Colvin (as the singer at the commune). In addition, the singing group Portrait appears as the Skylettes, while the band Redd Kross appears as the Riptides.

Larry Klein, the composer of the film's score, plays a record producer in the film. He later costarred in Anders's SUGAR TOWN.

J Mascis, who composed the score for Anders's GAS FOOD LODGING, wrote and performed the songs of Jay Phillips (Matt Dillon) and also has a small role in the film as the Riptides engineer.

Martin Scorsese was the executive producer. His longtime editor, Thelma Schoonmaker, also worked on the film.
