1/2" Celotex instead of sheetrock in sound room?


I am about half way through building my sound room, I have finished the first floor and the garage part. I am about to start on the walls of the room itself. I was planning on using 2 layers of sheetrock for sound isolation properties, when someone suggested substituting one layer of "Celotex", a foam type insulation board with an aluminum foil wrap. Since I live in cold clime, it would certainly help with insulation, but will it adequately work with the sheetrock?

Glue the celotex between the studs. Blow insulation in the studs and put two layers of sheetrock on the walls and ceiling. Put rubber strips on the ceiling prefering using perpendicular firing strips. Put a layer of 1/4 to 1/2 inch cork on subfloor and apply second subfloor over it.
