Free Music Notes for Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof
Free Music Review: VARIOUS 'Death Proof Soundtrack' LP & CD
Hit: 5 Stars
Essentially this is a 60s compilation but like few that you've ever heard. Here are my top six tracks (difficult as there are many fine ones). (1) Death Proof has breathed new life into 'Hold Tight' and opened it up to a whole new audience. It took DDDBM&T 40 years to appear on a soundtrack & how did these guys not hit it really big in the USA? By the way thankfully the 1966 version that Tarantino has utilised is superior to the 'Remind' partially re-recorded 1991 one. (2) 'Down In Mexico' by The Coasters was the real discovery. Had never heard this before & brilliant in the scene where the lap dance is done. Some fine percussion work. Another reason why so many rate this band. "He wears a red bandetta and plays a mean piano". (3) 'Riot In Thunder Alley' by Eddie Beram which also had never heard before...an instrumental with great drumming & fits in well in the film. Apparently when released back in 1962 it sold about 500 copies. Brilliant. (4) April March and the sexy melodic 'Chick Habit' - French original from the 60s was by France Gall written by Serge Gainsbourg - the catchiest number here - you'll leave the cinema singing this. (5) The solid/heavy 'Baby Its You' by Smith (more suitable in the context of this film than Dave Berry's version). (6) The larger than life 'Jeepster' by T.Rex which adds a different touch. Of the others then there's a superb start with 'The Last Race' by Jack Nitzsche, which catches your attention well as we begin the ride. 'Staggolee' by Pacific Gas & Electric is really excellent & could easily qualify for the best here on another day, the soulful 'The Love You Save' by Joe Tex plus two gentle instrumentals 'Paranoia Prima' by Ennio Morricone & 'Sally & Jack' by Pino Donaggio which in the context here each really fits in well. After 'Hold Tight' then Pino's track is perfect. There's another soulful number 'Good Love, Bad Love' by Eddie Floyd which serves as a fine introduction to 'Down In Mexico'. The 3 spoken excerpts add something special amongst all these. Finally Willy De Ville's 'It's So Easy' which is ideal for this soundtrack as you imagine Kurt Russell performing this. Tarantino & his musical supervisor Mary Ramos really know how to put a soundtrack together. The mix of pop, soul, orchestral, rock & spoken pieces all makes for a listening experience that you'll never tire of - really great. This review has been done listening to both the CD & the splattered blood red vinyl LP.
Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof Poster
SOUNDTRACK DEATH PROOFDirectors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez spent $53 million to pay loving tribute to the vintage hundred-thousand-dollar exploitation fare that inspired Grindhouse's two-movies-for-the-price-of-one thrill ride. Tarantino's half of the exercise (which also includes Robert Rodriguez's self-scored Planet Terror) features another effusive slice of the director's eclectic musical sensibility to underscore its manic tale of stuntman/psycho-killer Kurt Russell and his muscle-car-fueled exploits. Tarantino works from a familiar formula that variously mixes evocative, semi-obscure Italian film cues from Morricone and Dinaggio, contrasting slices of '60s catalog from the great Jack Nitzsche and Brit Invasion also-rans DDDBM&T and some '70s fodder from both ends of the Top 40 via Smith and T. Rex, also stirring in a savory mid-disc run of R&B that stretches from PG&E's upbeat read of "Stagger Lee" through more familiar fare from Joe Tex, Eddie Floyd, and the Coasters. The director also serves up a couple of those deliciously off-kilter obscurities that have come to be his musical trademark as a coda: Eddie Beram's thumping "Riot in Thunder Alley" and April March's infectious ditz-pop take on Serge Gainsbourg's loopy "Chick Habit." --Jerry McCulley
