Bob Dylan to Contribute ‘Don’t Fence Me In’ Cover for Ronald Reagan Biopic

Bob Dylan will contribute a cover of Cole Porter’s “Don’t Fence Me In” for the upcoming biopic about Ronald Reagan.

The forthcoming film, which stars Dennis Quaid as the 40th President of the United States, will also feature music by Gene Simmons, Clint Black and Tanya Tucker, according to Spin.

Dylan’s rendition of the Porter-written classic, which was popularized by Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters, Gene Autry, Kate Smith and more performers in the 1940s, will reportedly play during the end credits of Reagan.

“I was honored to have Bob join our film,” Quaid said in a statement to Spin. “We gave him the freedom to do any song he wanted to do, whether an original or a cover, and he chose ‘Don’t Fence Me In.’ That was extra special since it was a song that Gene made famous. Bob is a great lover of the American Songbook and we were delighted with the way he delivered the song. He’s a national treasure and was the perfect addition to the film.”

The Sean McNamara-directed film, which hits theaters on Aug. 30, will also include Simmons’ version of the 1930s standard “Stormy Weather” and Black’s take on John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” according to Spin.

Reagan will include major events throughout the former president’s lifetime, including difficulties with childhood bullies, his time in the Screen Actors Guild, and his rise in U.S. politics. Watch a trailer for the film here.

The biopic has an all-star cast that includes Jon Voight (playing Viktor Petrovich), Mena Suvari (Reagan’s first wife Jane Wyman), Lesley-Anne Down (Margaret Thatcher), David Henrie (teenage Reagan), Kevin Dillon (Jack Warner), Amanda Righetti and Justin Chatwin (Reagan’s parents, Nelle and Jack), and Creed’s Scott Stapp (Frank Sinatra).
