'Cold Mountain' songs have starring role
By Elysa Gardner, USA TODAY
Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellweger and Jude Law aren't the only stars featured in Cold Mountain, the Civil War epic arriving Christmas Day. T-Bone Burnett, the veteran producer behind the Grammy-winning O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, has corralled an equally glittering ensemble for Cold Mountain (Music From the Miramax Motion Picture), due Dec. 16.
Inspired by blues, folk, country and gospel influences, the film soundtrack will include new songs by Elvis Costello and Sting. Celebrated bluegrass performer Alison Krauss will sing both Sting's You Will Be My Ain True Love and The Scarlet Tide, which Costello wrote with Henry Burnett.
Zellweger's beau, Jack White of the rock band White Stripes, who makes his feature film debut in Mountain, appears on five additional tracks, among them traditional and blues covers such as Wayfaring Stranger and Christmas Time Will Soon Be Over,and his own original composition, Never Far Away. Other contributing artists include Tim Eriksen, the Reeltime Travelers, Riley Baugus and Tim O'Brien.
"These artists are all true to the sound and spirit of this music," Burnett says. "They cross decades, and centuries, to create traditional music that lives in the moment and reveals the old, coarse truths."
Comments
Tim O'brien released the Cold Mountain soundtrack a few years ago. Reeltime old time, not some pop schlock.
aye, but who reads books anymore?
