Free Music Notes for The Big Easy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Free Music Review: Big Easy soundtrack
Hit: 4 Stars

Though I only considered the original movie with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin to be average, I was blown away by the soundtrack. The music was an important counterpoint to the storyline. This CD was great, and I have a special playlist for it on my ipod and itunes. I recommend it if you enjoy Cajun music.

The Big Easy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Poster

While it didn't do for Louisiana music what the film The Harder They Come did for reggae, the soundtrack to director Jim McBride's steamy and stylized cops-and-corruption movie is a pretty good introduction to the region's extensive musical delights (even if gospel's great Swan Silvertones are from West Virginia). The late Dewey Balfa (who appears in the film's sweet porch-party scene) is to Cajun music's rural past what Terrance Simien and Zachary Richard are to its rocking present. Buckwheat Zydeco is to zydeco what Beausoleil is to Cajun: an intelligent synthesis of the old and new that you can dance to. It's a shame the St. Augustine's Marching Hundred's raw and jumping version of "Li'l Liza Jane" didn't make the cut from film to album. And it's an even bigger shame that star Dennis Quaid's awful ballad did. --Richard Gehr
