Guide Review - Brokeback Mountain Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Composer Gustavo Santaolalla has 6 solo score tracks on the CD while writing, with Bernie Taupin, 4 others, including the wonderful Emmylou Harris track A Love That Will Never Grow Old. Willie Nelson sings the wonderful Bob Dylan penned track He Was A Friend Of Mine. Two pop singers, Teddy Thompson and Rufus Wainwright perform Roger Millers King Of The Road. They do quite a good job with the track. Jackie Greens I Will Never Let You Go is a short sub two minute song yet is quite effective. Steve Earles The Devils Right Hand is a nice change of pace from the rest of the record, while Linda Ronstadts Its So Easy is a nice recogonizable track.
Even if you never choose to view the film, the soundtrack is by far worth purchasing on its own. There isnt a bad track and the score songs are simple guitar tracks played by Santaolalla. This is one of the best soundtracks Ive heard in a long while.
