Producer/musician Daniel Lanois's moody, atmospheric score for this story of a Southerner trying to start over after being institutionalized for 25 years is full of as much drama and feeling as the film itself. Lanois made his name producing such artists as U2, Bob Dylan, and Peter Gabriel, and his trademark is a dark, swampy sound. That sound, which is both organic and mysterious, fits perfectly in this story.

The score is rich and ambient, featuring Lanois's heavily-processed guitar and the help of a few extraordinary players (mentor Brian Eno, jazz drummer Brian Blade, Emmylou Harris). It's complemented by tunes by country singer Bambi Lee Savage, Booker T. & The MGs, and the rock band Local H (covering Guided By Voices' "Smothered in Hugs"). Also included is "The Maker," which first appeared on Lanois's 1989 solo album ACADIE. It's a churning, funky update of the homegrown spiritualism perfected by the Band in the 1960s, and it closes the album on a hopeful note.

Original score written by Daniel Lanois and Mark Howard.

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Sling Blade Soundtrack!
Well I was thinking about the movie when I heard this album the first time and was very disappointed with it! Reason being is because 4 of my favorite tunes from the movie aren't on the album! #1 was the little electric guitar tune played when Karl first visits Bill Cox. #2 was the tune played when Karl meets Frank for the first time. #3 was when Karl sees his dad in the run-down shack. #4 was the piano tune played towards the end when Karl gives Frank his books sittin gon a stump. But the 2nd time I heard I wasn't think about the movie - just listening to it for the heck of it and really enjoyed it! Except for "Smothered In Hugs" which I don't think mixes in well with the rest of the songs musically. But other than that - it's a great album with lots of great southern music! I certainly recommend it!

Leann Rimes Twisted Angel CD  (2002)

Sling Blade Soundtrack
CD $6.29  4.8 stars Audio Samples
TWISTED ANGEL shows just how far the newly adult vocalist has come from her teenage-prodigy beginnings. For one thing, she seems determined to leave her country roots far behind. Though she started down the pop route as early as 1997's YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE, TWISTED ANGEL is completely devoid of any country inflection whatsoever, focusing instead (as have a couple of Rimes's previous efforts, to varying degrees) on modern, often even danceable, pop. Rimes may be closer to Britney Spears than to Kitty Wells these days, but she seems to be expressing more of her inner self. It's surely no coincidence ...

Director Steven Spielberg keeps coming up with different kinds of films, and composer John Williams, with whom he has collaborated on 21 of them now, keeps finding appropriate musical settings. For The Terminal, a film about an Eastern European trapped in the international arrivals airport terminal in New York when his country erupts into civil war, Williams seems to have taken inspiration from the main character's origins and the film's lightly comic mood. His main theme for this character, "The Tale of Viktor Navorski," playfully recalls "The Third Man Theme," even ...
