Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

John Boorman's film about four city-dwellers getting their comeuppance while canoeing down a doomed river through inbred-land, exercised strict authenticity through a virtual absence of incidental music. So the idea of a soundtrack seems a bit "spooky" to say the least. The film's mere handful of music cues are all variations of the innocent-turned-demonic "Banjo Duel". The heartstopping rushes down the murderous Appalachian river needed no accompaniment, but the banjo theme proves a simple, effective tool in psychologising the countryside. It expresses the ominous "something" in the river, it shows up the city dwellers' short-lived oblivion, and "mickey-mouses" Jon Voight's desperate slide off the cliff. Once again John Boorman showed audiences that less is more. In the case of Deliverance, buying the soundtrack will ironically hold the opposite experience to watching the video. You're not buying a movie soundtrack at all, but some nice country "geetar" and banjo tunes that have nothing to do with the film--the only way to relive the movie experience is playing "spot the evil" during the title track, "Duelling Banjos". Deliverance the album will be the quirky item in your Bluegrass collection. --Yngvil V.G.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Bluegrass music, a must for all Blueghrass fans, 12 May 2001
By Malcolm Gregory (Comrie, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
From the very first track - Dueling Banjos - to - Earl's breakdown - through to - Fire on the mountain - and ending with -Rawhide - the Banjo playing is of the very highest and you just cannot stop the foot tapping. A real GEM

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue grows the grasses oh...., 9 May 2009
By R. A. Caton "Arcaton" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
What's to say that others haven't said? This is a "Soundtrack" from a film without one....
The title track "Duelling banjos" needs no introduction and the remainder of the material is excellently performed with many virtuoso touches.
There are no recordings of anyone hog-calling or squealing like a piggy....
It's good instrumental music and will satisfy. And herein lies the rub.... with instrumental material it is theoretically possible to produce a near identical performance by using music and reasonably competent musicians, a fact exploited by medaeval, renaissance and classical music re-creationists everywhere! The true artist of the banjo is rare, very rare, the Oakley's, Van Eps's, and Ossman's are of a generation lost to us with the passing of the recording horn.
This is a good CD and worth buying. Thet's all Ah kin say an' ah cain't say's nuh more.
YEEHAH! *spit*
