My Way News



NEW YORK (AP) - Rounder Records has signed Oscar-nominated actress Minnie Driver to her first U.S. recording contract.



'Everything I've Got in My Pocket' will be released on the label's rock/pop imprint, Zoe Records, in September, the Cambridge, Mass.- based company said Monday.



She will be backed by a group that includes members of the Wallflowers and Pete Yorn's band. The album is described as 'sparse, atmospheric pop and a hint of contemporary folk.'



Driver had been signed to Island Records in London when she was offered her breakthrough role in the 1995 film 'Circle of Friends.'



She was nominated for a best-supporting actress Oscar for 1997's 'Good Will Hunting.' Her new movie, 'The Phantom of the Opera,' is scheduled for release in December"
