Synopsis

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.

CD Reviews

Wonderful Soundtrack!
Nazca | Nebraska, USA | 03/10/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Watching the movie I was overwhelmed by the greatness of its soundtrack, and after purchasing this CD I was pleased to see that everything still seemed as wonderful. I am not a blues afficianado, but I do appreciate good music. I think that most anyone could enjoy this soundtrack."
Son House, R. L Burnside and SAMUEL L. JACKSON???
R. Kyle | USA | 10/24/2007

"The film fascinated me. Okay, I expected a dynamite soundtrack and I got it. What I didn't expect is that Samuel L. Jackson could actually sing! There's no overdub needed on this man's tracks--and you really do need to see the scene from the film where he plays at a roadhouse. Great job!"
"Ain't but one kind a blues...
Mr. D | detroit, mi usa | 09/11/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"And that's the kind between a male and a female." And that's how this remarkable collection of blues begins, courtesy of the great Son House. Going through a nasty break-up or divorce? Me too. Mr. House, we feel you. Here in the Motor City we began a rediscovery of him a few years back when Jack White did a blazing cover of "Death Letter". The soundtrack to Black Snake Moan comes at a time when young music fans ARE discovering Delta Blues via bands like The Black Keys ( well represented here ), R.L. Burnside ( ditto ), and the White Stripes. In Detroit there a dozen bands rediscovering their blues roots, even if with blue eyes. Outrageous Cherry, for one, is well represented on this soundtrack.

The joyous surprise though on this collection is Samuel Jackson. The man becomes what he is performing. He was Jules in "Pulp Fiction", slaughtering Ezekial 25:17 before capping a fool. Here he is an old Southern blues singer and his version of Stack-O-Lee almost rivals Nick Cave. And that says a lot for a full time actor and part time singer! But when Samuel sings, "I put nine of my bullets in his motherf...g chest!" you will find yourself hitting the replay button. Don't worry about the reviews of the movie and whether it was exploitation or not, just get the soundtrack and keep driving til you hit a fork in the road. There may be a man there asking you to make a choice. That's the blues."
