Product Description

From Amazon.com

Director Anthony Minghella's take on Charles Frazier's bestselling novel is powered by wistful romanticism and a dramatic structure that's been compared to Homer's Odyssey. That latter creative tack parallels the Coens' O Brother, Where Art Thou in crucial ways, and is further enhanced by another T-Bone Burnett-produced soundtrack of Appalachian-inflected folk traditionals, sympathetic originals by diverse songwriters ( Elvis Costello and Sting), and a core of gritty performances (the White Stripe's Jack White and Alison Krauss) that rise above mere star appeal. White shows his traditional blues jones is no mere affectation on "Wayfaring Stranger" and a cover of Howlin' Wolf's "Sittin' On Top of the World," then makes a rewarding turn into the wistfully romantic with his original "Never Far Away." Krauss gives a haunting performance of Costello's "The Scarlet Tide," but doesn't fare as well with Sting's plaintive, Celtic-tinged "You Will Be My True Love." The soundtrack's evocative sense of time and place is further underscored by traditionals performed by a slate of other bluegrass/country-folk heavyweights and a powerful pair of gospelized, almost ethereal performances by the Sacred Harp Singers at Liberty Church. A few of Gabriel Yared's gentle orchestral cues (crucial to the film's characters and dramatic continuity) are essentially tacked on as the coda to the remaining collection of earthy Americana. Dark, dusty, and ever bittersweet, Burnett's musical archaeology here is something considerably more than merely "O Brother Redux." --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, Jul 19 2004
By Diana (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews
I loved this album--it was everything I expected it to be. The old songs were especially good. I knew when I saw the movie that I wanted to buy the album. It reminds me a lot of the 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' soundtrack. I think if you like that, you'll like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and Haunting, Jul 4 2004
It appears that most, if not all, of the poor rated reviews are from users in Illinois. I too am from Illinois, but find the opposite. This soundtrack is riveting and very overwhelming. The style of music here is a step back into time using raw and untrained bluegrass. Many people interpret this as a failed attempt at a bluegrass soundtrack, but keep in mind that bluegrass does have many roots spread across the east, through the south and into the midwestern area giving different sounds to bluegrass.

If you enjoyed the movie, you will certainly enjoy the soundtrack!

4.0 out of 5 stars Traditional - not all bluegrass, Jun 29 2004
By K. Giorlando "amateur social historian" (Eastpointe, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
There is not a better version of Wayfaring Stranger than the one sung here on this soundtrack by Jack White. It's so good that when I played it for my rock and roll son (16 years old), he flipped over it, then played it for his friends (who also loved it), and it became a sort of underground hit for many at his high school. Jack sings it so pure and so simple that I have to believe that this is what it probably sounded like in its original form in the 19th century.
But wait - that's not all! I Wish My Baby Was Born - another 19th century gem - is sung with such emotion that it will tear your heart out.
Then there is Cassie Franklin singing (yet again from the 19th century) Lady Margaret, another heartfelt and sorrowful song, this time sung in accapella.
Ruby With The Eyes That Sparkle is an upbeat instrumental that's filled with bluegrass at its finest, as is The Cuckoo.
The other traditional tunes with Jack White, along with the more contemporary offerings featuring the Reeltime Travelers and Alison Krauss are all top notch. The Gabriel Yared numbers are the only real downfall of this disc, hence the four stars instead of five. Then again, it IS a soundtrack.
This collection does not claim to be bluegrass, or even country, as other reviewers feel it does. I don't even call it 'roots.' It's traditional music done in a traditional style, and is a fine collection of something one doesn't hear on the radio.
I had the pleasure of attending the Cold Mountain concert this past spring in Detroit (where Jack White made a special guest appearance - yes, he did an awesome job on Wayfaring Stranger!), and virtually all the above artists named (except Yared) performed there and helped create a truly magical night of traditional music.
