Editorial Review: Album Description: Black Snake Moan, the latest film from Hustle And Flow director Craig Brewer, tells a tale of love, betrayal, sex and salvation. It stars Samuel L Jackson, Christina Ricci and Justin Timberlake. The film take place in Memphis, Tennessee and the local blues music from the area is a central part of the movie. The soundtrack includes some classic and current blues artists including Son House, R.L. Burnside, North Mississippi Allstars and the singing debut of Samuel L Jackson. While the Black Snake Moan soundtrack presents the best musical moments of the movie, as a stand-alone document, its seventeen tracks weave together a raw depiction of today's North Mississippi scene: a little bit country, and a little bit rock'n'roll, both built on a bedrock of primitive blues. The Black Snake Moan soundtrack is a must have for fans of the film, the Blues, Samuel L Jackson or just a music fan looking for something very cool. Amazon.com: This soundtrack to the film written and directed by Craig Brewer is as steeped in the Southern blues as his Hustle and Flow was in hip-hop. The biggest surprise here is how well actor Samuel L. Jackson (who seems to have a thing for "Snake" films) holds his own as a blues singer against selections from Son House and R.L. Burnside. He sounds like a throwback to the classic Delta bluesmen on "Just Like a Bird Without a Feather," does a convincing take on the Blind Lemon Jefferson title track, and rocks the juke joint on "Alice Mae" and a down-and-dirty recasting of "Stack-O-Lee." Produced by the Bo-Keys' Scott Bomar (who also scored Brewer's previous movie), the 17-cut soundtrack features a kaleidoscopic array of blues, from the primal throb of the Black Keys' "When the Lights Go Out" and the funk of Bobby Rush's classic "Chicken Heads" to the spiritual lilt of Precious Bryant's "Morning Train" and the North Mississippi Allstars' expansive finale, "Mean Ol' Wind Died Down." --Don McLeese Average Rating:
 Rating:  - surprisingAfter watching this movie I KNEW I had to own the soundtrack. Talk about good-ole-blues. And Sam Jackson can sing!! Very sexy, very easy to listen to. (Not for the prudish though....(Oh, and the movie totally rocked!!) Rating: - Awesome!An awesome CD!!! I really liked the movie, and absolutely had to have the soundtrack. Blues at its very best!! Rating: - Excellent Soundtrack --Samuel L Jackson is amazingly "in place" on this CDThis is a very good collection of blues, and Samuel L Jackson really does lend an amazing voice to the collection. Just like his acting style is his own, so is his way of singing. I'm honestly impressed by his voice and style. The music is a nice blend of blues, rock, and almost ethereal, hynotic- spacey tunes. Some tracks are better than others, and though I have my favorites, I didn't skip over a single track. Is it the best blues CD ever? No. But ...

Rating:  - Authentic bluesAn extremely peculiar film from Craig Brewer, the director of Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan is a deep-South drama covering topics as diverse as promiscuity, religion, redemption, love, and Blues music. Samuel L. Jackson plays farmer and part-time blues musician Lazarus, who wakes up one morning to find a young woman named Rae (Christina Ricci), badly beaten and unconscious, lying half-naked in his yard. A childhood victim of sexual abuse, Rae had developed into the town tramp, using her sex addiction ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
