North Country - Music From The Motion Picture

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty

What better choice to musically embody a movie about the Minnesota-based first-ever class-action lawsuit for sexual harassment than Bob Dylan, the Land of 10,000 Lakes' most ipolitical musical export? This is a great idea in theory, but unfortunately it leads to another question: Why so little? Dylan is represented here with only four songs, including the brand new, pleasantly old-school "Tell Ol' Bill" (nice fiddle), and two choice covers; Leo Kottke's 1968 take on "Girl of the North Country" and Cat Power's piano-backed "Paths of Victory" (taken from her highly recommended Covers Record CD from 2000). The rest of the soundtrack is comprised of pleasant tunes such as Kim Carnes's "Bette Davis Eyes," Mac Davis's "Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me," and the overused "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon. In other words, nothing so rare that it's worth chasing after. The original score is represented by three tracks in which Gustavo Santaolalla once more shows his mastery of atmospherics. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Jun 21 2009

    I was happy to receive the CD in the original case. I appreciate how soon we received the CD as well. Very satisfied. Thanks.

  2. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar EmptyStar Empty Posted: Mar 13 2007

    Kicks butt, this soundtrack. Has two of my top 5 Dylan songs, "Sweetheart like you" and "Lay Lady Lay". I prefer the version of "Girl from North Country" Dylan did with Johnny Cash, but the one on the soundtrack is listenable. Great song from the Scorsese film "Color of Money"--Werewolves of London, that you can hardly find anywhere else.

  3. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty Posted: Jan 10 2007

    I bought this for Cat Powers Path to Victory. she has a very hypnotic voice. I play just that song over & over & would prefer a CD with just her singing.
