CONTEST: Black Snake Moan / Samuel L. Jackson 7-inch Vinyl

The good folks from Black Snake Moan have graciously agreed to to donate a a limited edition 7-inch featuring the Samuel L. Jackson on lead vocals. Although the movie also stars Justin Timberlake (another Memphis boy like director Craig Brewer), he doesn't partake in the music side of the film.

Here's some details:

Black Snake Moan is the new film from Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow) starring Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci and Justin Timberlake. The scene is set with Jackson playing an old bluesman that chains up Christina Ricci to 'get the devil out of her.' In the process of filming, Jackson learns to play guitar, and sings on the film's soundtrack. To celebrate the release of Black Snake Moan, a limited a 7-inch vinyl has been pressed. The record features two songs performed by Samuel L. Jackson: the oral tradition toast, "Stackolee" and Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Black Snake Moan."

Here's the video for "Stakolee", as performed by Samuel L. Jackson.
