Free Music Notes for A Prairie Home Companion Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [Deluxe Limited Edition CD + DVD]
Free Music Review: Pretty Good Soundtrack & DVD
Hit: 5 Stars
The Soundtrack from the film Prairie Home Companion is superb.
The tracks aren't in the same order as they occurred in the film, but must have been a bit rearranged for balance and listenability.
You don't have to see the movie to enjoy the soundtrack, and if you've seen the film, it's even better.
I found myself wanting to applaude after several of the pieces during the film, but didn't want to seem like an amateur, nor did I wish to startle the old folks sitting in front of me; pieces such as "Gold Watch and Chain" by Streep and Keillor, "Frankie & Johnny" by Lohan, "Old Plank Road" by Robin & Linda Williams, "Coming Down From Red Lodge" by the Guys All-Star Shoe Band, and "Bad Jokes" by Harrelson and Reilly are the most memorable.
The film had all the great music I could have hoped for except for the omitted "Powdermilk Biscuits Theme." C'mon, GK---how do you expect to win the Oscar for Best Picture when you leave out the theme for Powdermilk Biscuits? Jeeze, Louise!
The DVD included with the Soundtrack is a real Bonus!
The highlights are Keillor's Catchup monolog, and the pieces played by the Guys All-Star Shoe Band: they are an outstanding group of extrordinarily talented and versatile musicians, a pleasure to watch and a joy to listen to!
A Prairie Home Companion Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [Deluxe Limited Edition CD + DVD] Poster
Garrison Keillor's long running public radio show, "A Prairie Home Companion" is now the center of a Robert Altman film of the same name starring Keillor, Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, Kevin Kline, Lindsay Lohan, Virginia Madsen, Maya Rudolph, and Tommy Lee Jones. The story is a fictional one of what happens on and off stage during the last broadcast of the beloved radio show. The soundtrack showcases the spectacular onstage performances by the cast. Offered here is a regular audio-only version and a CD + DVD deluxe version packed with performance footage and film outtakes.At long last, Lindsay Lohan and Meryl Streep sing on the same CD. Okay, so they don't actually duet, but both do perform on the soundtrack to Robert Altman's take on Garrison Keillor's popular radio show. (Keillor fans will know exactly what to expect, as the film is scrupulously faithful to his universe, and Keillor and his Shoe Band wrote a good deal of the songs.) As anybody who's seen Postcards from the Edge knows, Streep can really sing, and she sounds great in the rootsy, old-style country vein that makes up most of this soundtrack. Her rollicking duets with her screen sister Lily Tomlin, "My Minnesota Home" and "Goodbye to My Mama," are priceless. Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly are beyond crusty on "Whoop-I-Ti-Yi-Yo," which sounds like both an outtake from and a parody of O Brother, Where Art Thou?, while "Bad Jokes" is, well, just that. As for Lohan, who plays Streep's daughter, her version of "Frankie & Johnny" is a little shaky but heartfelt and kinda adorable. Purists, you can start hollering now. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
