4.0 out of 5 stars Folky instruments, orchestral sweep, March 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Ride With The Devil (1999 Film) (Audio CD)

Lots of CDs smack you in the face first time out of the chute. This one grows on you slowly with its delicate folksy instrumentation (banjo, fiddle) against a sweeping orchestral tapestry. The two recreations of 1860s live performances are dead on. By the way, the movie's every bit as superb as this soundtrack; it got only limited distribution and most critics didn't recognize it for what it was _ nothing less than ``Huck Finn Goes to War.'' Mark Twain would have approved. Be sure to check it out on cable or home video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Let Them Ride !, December 6, 1999

The movie has yet to open so it may seem nuts to pick up a soundtrack of a movie that is not yet out. However, if the wonderful, dramatic music contained in this CD is any indication of what the movie is like I expect fans of the Civil War or westerns have a real treat in store for them.

The soundtrack is mainly orchestral and apparently accompanies big battle scenes and romantic moments. Of course, most should know that Jewel is in the movie. It appears she has a "major supporting" role. Early accounts note that she is good but her part does not have to carry the movie. A remix of her song "What's Simple is True" is included in the CD.

The movie's opening date keeps changing. This is a busy time given all the films that are being rushed out for the holidays. It appears the movie will now be out Dec 17. This bold, rich soundtrack, written by Mychael Danna, will no doubt add color and grace to what promises to be an entertaining and exciting period piece. The movie was directed by Ang Lee who did the superb "Sense and Sensibility" and "The Ice Storm."

5.0 out of 5 stars Ride With The Devil, August 13, 2000

As a Confederate reenactor, this film is most period and that goes for the soundtrack as well. I received my copy this week and find myself going back to my diskman several times a day to listen to various tracks. Working out in the yard, I will start to sing "Old King Crow" a well known period tune in the reenactor community and the main reason for the purchase of this soundtrack. "Sacking of Lawrence" is a powerful track and one of the most period portions of the film. As the bushwackers hit the town, four Confederate regulars (army) look at the raid with disgust. Although period and romance put together, the music sure makes the film come alive. If you are into this period type music, you can't go wrong and I would recommend the soundtrack of Gettysburg along with this CD.
