レビュー (Amazon)This soundtrack serves as both a companion to Kenneth Lonergan's film and an introduction to the E-Squared Records roster. As such, it's a perfect primer for the imprint's uninitiated, but as it offers only previously released material, it's simply redundant for E-Squared devotees. The label, founded and run by roots-rock icon Steve Earle and his partner Ray Kennedy, uses the soundtrack to showcase the freshest horses in its stable. Earle himself is the prize thoroughbred, and the soundtrack is anchored by five cuts from
The Mountain, his 1999 bluegrass foray with the Del McCoury Band. Two of these--the album-opening "Texas Eagle" and the Iris DeMent duet "I'm Still in Love with You"--are particular highlights. But the real winners are the dark horses: Bap Kennedy's reverb-soaked folk-rocker "Vampire," Cheri Knight's barroom-ready "White Lies," a diverse trio of songs from the now-defunct V-Roys, and especially Marah's raggedly infectious "Far Away You," drawn from that band's near-masterpiece 2000 album
Kids in Philly.
