Free Music Notes for Songcatcher: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture

Free Music Review: Enchanting
Hit: 5 Stars

I became interested in this music by way of the movie with the same name. Though the movie itself gets no more than a couple of stars from me, the music captivated me. I was so inspired that I immediately started searching the web for the CD. This CD is superb. For anyone interested in Folk/Blue Grass music --you don't want to miss this one. As a lot of the reviewers stated, the one true disappointment is that Emmy Rossum and Iris Dement did not get more singing time. My favorites are "Pretty Saro", "When Love is New", "Mary of the Wild Moor" and my absolute favorite, "All My Tears". I had never heard of Julie Miller until this recording of "All My Tears" and her voice is quite appealing and ethereal. I will be watching for more recordings from her. Dolly Parton deserves much wider acclaim than she receives presently. She is a wonderful songwriter and sings her own songs much better than other artists who have done remakes of her work. I will be buying more of her CD's. I hope Parton receives more interest in her work as a result of the resurgent interest in Blue Grass music brought about by the movie "O'Brother". "Wind and Rain" was an interesting listen as well.

These songs seem to recall accurately life long ago when music was an important part of story telling and an extension of everyday life. It was an important element of expressing oneself; even more so than today, I think. This music strikes you in your soul and leaves a wistful feeling that makes you want more.

Because of this CD, I will probably also purchase a CD or two recorded by Iris Dement. It is my understanding that Emmy Rossum has no other recordings. I'll continue to look for any in the future. I had heard the song "Moonshiner" played live by a local Bluegrass band and am not a fan of this slower version on the CD. The version I am used to is much faster and belies the humor in the words. I felt the slow version did not do this piece the justice it deserved. That said, Allison Moorer's singing had nothing to do with my feeling about this song. Her voice is wonderful, just didn't like the tempo of this song. Otherwise, superb music!
