Title: I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD
Review: This is a fine album, but it pales in comparison to the aural experience provided by the film. I was disappointed that so much of the good music from the film is absent from the CD. Of fifteen tracks, two are extremely short, non-musical snippets from the soundtrack, and four are Jim White numbers. There is only one (albeit excellent) track by the breathtaking Handsome Family, and, thank goodness the Johnny Dowd/Maggie Brown duet is included -- these folks have voices that just plain work together! Saddest for me, the church music is missing, which is a shame -- those of us in dying so-called "mainline" churches can learn a lot from these folks! I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD!
