Free Music Notes for Deadwood: Music From HBO Original SeriesFree Music Review: Music From Season 1 - Go Back To "Deadwood" Hit: 5 Stars
This review refers to "Deadwood Music From the HBO Original Series" - EXPLICIT CONTENT (CD/Lost Highway")
"Deadwood" fans...you will love and spend alot of time listening to this album that takes you right back in time to Deadwood,the rugged atmosphere and the tough bigger then life characters,the series is based on. Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, etc The selections are a great representation of the series and may have you wanting to watch it all over again(which by the way both season 1 and 2 look and sound marvelous on DVD).If you loved the series, it is like finding an "Old Friend"(Lyle Lovett)
This album is from Season 1 only. It has 23 tracks that not only have the great music by some great artists, but also includes some of the more memorable lines spoken by the actors(Ian McShane,Keith Carridine, etc). The tracks do not exactly follow the order of the episodes, but there is something from each one that depicts the storyline and the times.
The music mixes the sounds of the Old West,and some bluesy material, with the perfect scoring of this sometimes dark series.Opening with "No Law"(spoken), it then goes right into the Theme From Deadwood(at this point I already made plans to get my DVDs out for the night). Then you'll be treated to artists like June Carter Cash("Will the Circle Be Unbroken"),Lyle Lovett("Old Friend") and Jelly Roll Morton doing his rendition of "Stars and Stripes Forever". Also included are a great blues number(from the episode"Plague") "High Fever Blues" by Bukka White, a beautiful ballad, "Twisted Little Man" by Michael Sheehy, and some fabulous instrumentals ,vocal solos, and wonderful guitar work..See buying info for complete track listings.
As I stated at the beginning of this review. This CD is the explicit lyrics edition. And just as with the series, it's is no one you want to play around children or those who may cringe at four letter words(and some much longer). If you loved the series though, that was a big part of what made it seem so authentic. There is a "clean" edition if you prefer,Deadwood: Music from the HBO Original Series. Basically the short spoken tracks are cut out from the album of the "clean" edition. The ASIn for this one(explicit) is B00076YPUI. So in case Amazon decides to lump the reviews together, you may want to check that number in the product info to make sure you are ordering the one you want.
This CD has a running time of a little more then 45 minutes. The sound quality is excellent.Even the old recordings sound great. A booklet with the tracks, artists and the episode it came from is included.
"There's blood on the floor..."(Bullock)
"Yeah - uh - I'm gonna get to that"(Al 'pardon my French' Swearengen)

The Greatest Western Themes
Deadwood: Music From HBO Original Series PosterMusic from the critically acclaimed HBO Series Deadwood featuring American roots music from an eclectic mix of artists ranging from Lyle Lovett to June Carter Cash with full dialog excerpts from some of your favorite moments. Deadwood: The Complete First Season available now on DVD. The West of veteran TV writer/Deadwoodcreator David Milch is as grim as it is gritty, sprinkled with salty dialogue and punctuated by sudden brutality and raw sexuality. The original soundtrack cues by composer David Schwartz (represented here by his evocative show theme), Michael Brook and Reinhold Heil and Johnny Klimek play off that vision with often stark rootsiness. But it's the series' rich slate of songs -- choices whose inventiveness often rivals that of The Sopranos -- that consistently reinforce its all-too-human drama, if not the crusty veneer. This collection gathers the best songs from the series' first season, coloring the milieu with evocative hillbilly romps like Michael Hurley's "Hog of the Forsaken" and the a capella grace of Margaret's Native American "Creek Lullaby." But the collection's musical eclecticism stretches far beyond mere genre concerns, variously encompassing the nascent jazz of Jelly Roll Morton (a rollicking "Stars and Stripes Forever"), Delta blues of Bukka White and Mississippi John Hurt and even Gustavo Santaolalla's hypnotic Brazilian fretwork. But the collection's country and folk-tinged performances are its most resonant, whether invoking earthy traditions (the gospel fervor of the late June Carter Cash's "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee's more heretical "God and Man") or more contemporary stylings like Lyle Lovett's "Old Friend" and the gentle "Twisted Little Man" by Michael J. Sheehy. --Jerry McCulley
