Free Music Review: Powerfully evocative soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
Regardless of what you feel about Titanic, its soundtrack was a success in that its music resonated the same feel, or aura, as the movie did, and everytime you listened to it, the music brought back feelings and impressions you felt while watching the movie. Cold Mountain's soundtrack does the same and that makes it a successful soundtrack, in my opinion. You relive the movie through the soundtrack vividly; both the movie and its soundtrack strike the same emotional chords and both complement each others artistic style.
I'm not familiar with bluegrass music, so I can't say if this is a successful bluegrass compilation or not, but I suspect it isn't, because that wasn't the goal of this production. The goal was to use music as a means to amplify the themes and emotions portrayed in the film--the songs were used very well to serve as musical exclamation points for key scenes.
You really can't separate the movie Cold Mountain from its music. Like with Titanic, its soundtrack was inseparable from the movie. While I was watching Cold Mountain with my husband, both of us commented on how good the songs were during the movie.
This soundtrack has received a LOT of criticism for not being an true bluegrass album, but a lot of people are forgetting this is a movie soundtrack, not a historical folk album. Cold Mountain is a war epic and love story, not a movie about bluegrass, so its songs are not going to be limited to only historical folk songs--songs that will help further the plot or help to bring certain scenes to life will be used in a movie soundtrack, because that's the job of the music.
Nobody complained that the music in the Braveheart score was not historically accurate because they were actually contemporary works, and nobody complained that Titanic's music didn't actually exist during the early 1900's because James Horner wrote the songs and James Horner wasn't alive back then. That is because that they are soundtracks for the movie, and the goal of a soundtrack complement the movie. Sometimes, exceptional soundtracks will come along--a great soundtrack to go with a great movie--and Cold Mountain's soundtrack is one of them.
Jack White surprised me with his versatility as an artist. His renditions of songs felt authentic and believable.
For what it's worth, this city slicker was smitten by this production. I experienced a taste of the grandeur, dignity, and beauty of Appalachian history and culture through the movie, and especially through its music. I'm not a fan of country or bluegrass, but I'm a fan of this soundtrack.
