There are soundtracks that are produced, because you want to make a deal, wants to spice up the possibly bad movie - is ok. This soundtrack is to make coal, makes the film a pleasure but we can all times aside and imagine that we have here before us a slice and put it into the player and do not know and ... and .. the movie . and then ......... we have a mix of partly deep-black music, blues, bluegrass and genuine soul (I mean the coming singer from the soul!) and Gospel and thus " blaze of color "real southern music as it should be rarely found.
As will also do nothing "embellished" and produced by for aal-smooth. But on the contrary. Show pieces like "Lonesome Valley" that the piece was probably even recorded only once, partly not true of the use, as's asleep one of the old men, one could say - and this is what it is but what makes the authenticity of the pieces in part at least , This simple Acapella is the piece of cake for me, you can hear today just in this form no longer, certainly not in Europe. I would be very happy to be able to sit there once midst to listen, we get "white" never ever so down.
Of course, there are also we say bigger names for genre freaks like me, of course, not unknown. "Down In The River To Pray" is certainly one of the most known songs and who has even a hint Christian way of life, will begin to sing at least the third time listen. For the one who hears the first time, to him it will run a little cold down the spine, as much force has this simple Acapella - Alison Krauss has also for the necessary voice.
Also fairly well known is probably still "I am a Man of Constant Sorrow". To leave a song genre freaks really, a Mitbrüller speak, also be aware that there are several versions. Alone there are four different versions to find and we have it here certainly more to do with variations and with fewer repetitions. The Dan Tyminski I like might best but the instrumentals are really anything but boring or bad.
I could now tap and tap and - no, a little I still want to leave the listener himself inclined toward the voltage. It was, however, warned: the culmination of knowledge and Feelings is only achieved when repeated hearing and is certainly nothing for the way listening.
There is no bad piece on the disc.
The album is of course for the interesting finds the film well. I must point out, moreover, that this disc has a genuine repertoire value and really should be in every good collection. Neither the genre freak even by the one who is interested in world music and just comes over here in the South. For each other there is a real musical experience in any case.
The CD itself looks the way like a Vinyl record - made chic.
Just buy it - less than 5 stars would be for me "deaf".
