Cold mountain (the film)

hi,was just wondering if any1 as heard anything about the soundtrack to the new film cold mountain.( based on the best book ever :smiley: )..
ive heard that the lead singer of white stripes had a bit part and was doing the music :boggle: ? …but a few reveiws of the upcoming films have mentioned a cd release similar to ā€œoh brother where art thouā€,and have been talking of a resurgence of mountain/folk music etc!! not that it went away 4 some…
wondered what people thought good or bad for the whistle community, seemed to of helped with the alt country crowd..

I thought Tim O’Brien was doing at least some of the music. His great CD, Songs from the Mountain, was inspired by the novel.

Hi Andy: Film’s not out yet here, but will soon.
From the pre-views, it looks excellent!
I have not read the book, although I have it.
I plan to watch the movie first, though, since usually the book is better :slight_smile:

Book is pretty good, despite somewhat frustrating ending. Cute tie-in with folk music (fiddling) too. Worth a reading.
