CD Reviews

Excellent Soundtrack To An Equally Brilliant Movie!!

04/12/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"'The Slaughter Rule' is one of last year's best films and the soundtrack ranks alongside 'Paris,Texas' and 'Betty Blue'. The soundtrack flows beautifully from Jay Farrar's instrumentals to
a great collection of Americana music and back. All good soundtracks tell the story through music and this is one of those."

Musical haiku

03/12/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Like the very best haiku poetry, Jay Farrar provides us with minimalist snippets of pure emotion between alt.country gems. While the tunes are moving and well-done, it is once again Farrar who shines. His opening song, "Gather," is achingly beautiful. But it is the score pieces that I particulary love; just Farrar on guitar and other instruments. Even if you eschew soundtracks, you'll cherish this collection."

Superb late night, star watching listening

Brett Best | Rock Hill, SC | 03/11/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Jay Farrar put together a winner with this score and soundtrack for the movie "The Slaughter Rule". See the movie, buy the soundtrack. I usually hate soundtrack albums, but these tracks are tasty and all are low key and melodic. Winners include the Pernice Brothers "Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?", Blood Oranges "Gathering Flowers For the Master's Bouquet" and Uncle Tupelo's "Blue Eyes". There are many covers, but they are all fresh and bracing like a cold Montana night. Not quite alt. country and not quite blues, this soundtrack is the definition of Americana."
