Vietnam Long Time Coming is an award-winning 1998 documentary film chronicling a group of American and Vietnamese veterans, some of them disabled, on a bicycle trip from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, the former Saigon. Half of this album consists of Ben Sidran's score for the film, a funk-rock collection. The other half is a miscellaneous selection of pop songs, all of which predate the album's production. Most notable among them are Emmylou Harris's "I Hear a Call" and Bruce Springsteen's Vietnam-themed "Shut Out The Light", which was the non-LP B-side of his "Born In The U.S.A." single in 1984.
