I need to get the Return of the King soundtrack. We have Fellowship but not The Two Towers - gotta get that one too. The music for Lord of the Rings is incredible throughout and adds so much to the trilogy and just sounds so completely right. But I was utterly blown away by Billy Boyd's unexpected performance of a portion of Bilbo's walking song, "Upon the Hearth the Fire is Red." Sung a capella, with that exquisite Scottish accent, and reflecting Pippin's revelation, at last, of the gravity of the situation... An absolutely gorgeous scene, and haunting performance. And he may be an actor by trade - and a darn good one - but this guy ought to record an album! I'd snatch it up in a second.
