DIRTY HARRY SINGS

Another upcoming film-related album features some even more unlikely voices. The album accompanying “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” the film version of John Berendt’s nonfiction bestseller about a murder in Savannah, Ga., includes singing performances by the film’s star Kevin Spacey--as well as by its director, Clint Eastwood.

The two, along with such professional vocalists as Paula Cole, k.d. lang, Rosemary Clooney and Alison Krauss, each do a song written by the late Johnny Mercer, Savannah’s most famous musical native. Spacey, whose character gets involved in voodoo, sings “That Old Black Magic,” while Eastwood offers “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive.” (Coincidentally, that song was also featured in Spacey’s last movie, “L.A. Confidential.”)

This is not Eastwood’s first singing job, points out Matt Pierson, Warner Bros. Records’ senior vice president for jazz, who produced the sessions with the director. He had a No. 1 country hit in 1980 with “Bar Room Buddies,” a duet with Merle Haggard from the film “Bronco Billy.”

“Having Dirty Harry sing ‘Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive,’ that seemed funny,” says Pierson. “Clint ain’t Pavarotti here, but he definitely does a fun job.”

The album is due in stores Nov. 18, with the film opening Nov. 21.
