Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Director Anthony Minghella's take on Charles Frazier's bestselling novel, Cold Mountain, 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 gospelised, 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

By Jason Parkes #1 HALL OF FAME
Format:Audio CD
Dylan-collaborater T-Bone Burnett has been behind several of the best soundtracks of recent years- from 1997's The Big Lebowski (which tended to use back catalogue material, such as Dylan, Captain Beefheart & the Gipsy Kings)to 2000's bestseller O, Brother Where Art Thou? (which was far more popular than the film & starred artists like Ralph Stanley, Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch & Emmylou Harris). O Brother...even lead to a documentary by DA Pennebaker & a spin-off soundtrack, Down from the Mountain. It seemed that the roots sound of the Harry Smith Folk Anthology had found a fresh audience- the soundtrack to Anthony Mingella's adaptation of Cold Mountain is as great as those soundtracks (I've not seen the film yet- but this album is brilliant in its own sphere anyway...)

As O Brother & Down from the Mountain, there are songs that are somewhere between appalachian, blues, country & folk- loosely defined as roots & Alison Krauss returns from O Brother to sing on a few tracks. An array of artists (Tim O'Brien, The Reeltime Travelers, Cassie Franklin, Tim Eriksen etc) feature- which opens up further possibilities for further purchases I can't really afford! The Sacred Harp Singers at Liberty Church are a wonderful discovery & Gabriel Yared (Betty Blue) offers some great instrumentals also.

But the highlight for me are the five-tracks from Jack White, of the acclaimed White Stripes; now I don't really see the appeal of the White Stripes- it all seems like hype from the media/XL-records & worthy of the joke Paul Morley makes about them regarding 1963 in his recent book Words & Music. It all seems like garage-rock retro & not as interesting as similar acts like Violent Femmes, Pixies, Pussy Galore, Royal Trux, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Cramps & Gun Club. But, here on Cold Mountain, I finally GET Jack White & these tracks are great, particularly Wayfarin' Stranger, Christmas Time Will Soon Be Over & Sittin' On Top of the World.

Cold Mountain is an excellent purchase, & along with the box-set Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues & recent albums from Bonnie Prince Billy, Handsome Family & Gillian Welch, must purchases on the Americana count & compulsive listening...

By Musicfan TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Whether you like the film or not, this is a great album of old timey/bluegrass music. Jack White is a revelation. Alison Krauss is as reliable as ever. Cassie Franklin produces one of the highlights. The Sacred Harp Singers made the hair on my neck stand up. I don't think the Gabriel Yared tracks add much to the CD and do not really fit in with the other tracks but they are ok. Ignoring those tracks this is a CD of pwoerful music beautifully played and produced. Recommended to those who enjoy the old timey/bluegrass/accoustic music.

This is a varied mix of mountain music - all of which are of the highest quality. Jack White (Stripes) adds an interesting dimension and does a great job, I particularly like the Riley Baugus/Tim Eriksen tracks but all are great ... if you liked the film you will love this cd.
