Free Music Notes for Cold Mountain
Free Music Review: Best Soundtrack of the Year
Hit: 5 Stars
The songs on this CD are just awe-inspiring. Allison Krauss has such a beautiful voice and brings depth to the tunes. I had the pleasure of hearing Sting and TBone Burnett talk at a Women in Film Lecture, about about creating the music for this film. They did a fantastic job in creating a traditional feel to the soundtrack. It is so wonderful that the movie stayed true to the traditional tunes from that era. Playing this CD makes you feel like you are right there.
The best soundtrack CD on the year.
Free Music Review: Better Than "O Brother..."
Hit: 5 Stars
For presentation, editing, pacing and originality, this is a brilliant production. The Sacred Harp Singers sound too much like Ladysmith Black Mambazo to my ears, BUT are used so effectively within this Soundtrack that it seems picky. Undoubtedly the "sleeper" here is the exquisite Burnett/Newirth "Like A Songbird That Has Fallen", performed with such haunting beauty and conviction, by the Reeltime Travelers.I love the darkness and concomitant hope of this Soundtrack.
Free Music Review: Longing for the Mountains
Hit: 5 Stars
Something about this soundtrack, and for that matter, the film, touched a nerve with me. Being from Appalachia I felt tugged by the old-time music. But that combined with Yared's lilting and passionate score brought me to tears in the movie and while listening to the CD. I think the combination works to portray several themes: war, love, longing for home, tragedy. It's not an elegant soundtrack, thank goodness. The story behind it is not elegant either. It's raw emotion.Free Music Review: Good, Simple...and Eloquent.
Hit: 5 Stars
The whole time I was watching the movie, the one thing I kept thinking was: "I've got to get this soundtrack." And now that I do, I am reasonably impressed. Nothing on it is new to me, as I am a seasoned bluegrass/mountain music fan. Jack White is good at bluegrass, enough so that he should give up pretending with the White Stripes. Alison Krauss is good too. I've got to get going, but you don't. Buy this album, and don't think twice about it.Free Music Review: Beautiful, Haunting...Historically Accurate...?
Hit: 5 Stars
I loved the movie, I loved the soundtrack. I had several songs on repeat. Then I read the book and found that Charles Frazier had set the town of Cold Mountain right where I was born. One of my favorite songs on the soundtrack was "I'm Going Home". I've tried to research it, to find out who wrote it originally, but I've come up with nothing. If anyone could help me out here, I'd greatly appreciate it.
