Miranda Lambert is digging deep into the annals of country music for her contribution for the soundtrack to “The Ice Road”, the new Netflix movie starring Liam Neeson.
Lambert covers “I’m Movin’ On” by Canadian-American country star Hank Snow, first released in 1950.
“That hard-charging sense of the road is a real common ground between rock, country and Americana,” Scott Borchetta, Big Machine Label Group founder and chairman, stated in a press release for the movie’s soundtrack, with features an array of artists covering classic Nashville and pop hits with a driving theme.

Other artists featured on the soundtrack to “The Ice Road” include Carly Pearce, Kathy Mattea’s “Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses”, Jason Isbell with the Johnny Cash favourite, “All I Do Is Drive”, and the Man in Black’s son, John Carter Cash, teaming with Assassinz and Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander for the metal-tinged “Heart of Steel.”
