Editorial Reviews

Product description

CD

Amazon.com

This soundtrack to the film written and directed by Craig Brewer is as steeped in the Southern blues as his Hustle and Flow was in hip-hop. The biggest surprise here is how well actor Samuel L. Jackson (who seems to have a thing for "Snake" films) holds his own as a blues singer against selections from Son House and R.L. Burnside. He sounds like a throwback to the classic Delta bluesmen on "Just Like a Bird Without a Feather," does a convincing take on the Blind Lemon Jefferson title track, and rocks the juke joint on "Alice Mae" and a down-and-dirty recasting of "Stack-O-Lee." Produced by the Bo-Keys' Scott Bomar (who also scored Brewer's previous movie), the 17-cut soundtrack features a kaleidoscopic array of blues, from the primal throb of the Black Keys' "When the Lights Go Out" and the funk of Bobby Rush's classic "Chicken Heads" to the spiritual lilt of Precious Bryant's "Morning Train" and the North Mississippi Allstars' expansive finale, "Mean Ol' Wind Died Down." --Don McLeese

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Soundtrack with great actor singing
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2012

Let me start by saying I never knew Samuel L Jackson could sing. I enjoy some blues music but this soundtrack blew me away. The added bonus finding out the actor could sing with no voiceover for the movie or soundtrack. If you are into blues music and enjoy it as much as I do then look to pick this CD up and savor the sounds it has. The main song that impress me was Jackson's version of Stackolee he did for the movie. I do hope Samuel L Jackson does more movies with him singing for the movie. And those who don't enjoy this type of music try and stay open minded to trying this soundtrack out anyways just for chance to see if you end up liking the music after listening to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Soundtrack --Samuel L Jackson is amazingly "in place" on this CD
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2008
Verified Purchase
This is a very good collection of blues, and Samuel L Jackson really does lend an amazing voice to the collection. Just like his acting style is his own, so is his way of singing. I'm honestly impressed by his voice and style.

The music is a nice blend of blues, rock, and almost ethereal, hynotic- spacey tunes.

Some tracks are better than others, and though I have my favorites, I didn't skip over a single track.

Is it the best blues CD ever? No. But for beginners and aficionados, it's a nice listen.

Samuel L Jackson fits in well, and his authentic (not seemingly trained just for the movie) voice made the CD worth buying, for me at least.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Ain't but one kind a blues...
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2007

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.

Despite the sensational cover and the movie link, BUY THIS CD if you love, or even like the blues. This is the real thing, and you will surely enjoy the authenticity of the music and performances here. I was amazed at the depth of Samuel L. Jackson's musical performance. I have always liked and respected him as an actor, but his music shows a whole new and complex side of him previously unseen (or unheard). I would judge this to be the best blues cd you've never heard, considering the very low-key promotion, or lack thereof, and possibly the best blues cd of the year.

I am a big fan of Movie Soundtracks. Black Snake Moan did not disappoint. I liked the music in the moive and wanted more. The CD has complete songs that the movie has only snippits or are obscured by dialog.  Black Snake Moan If you have not seen the moive, you should. Samual L. Jackson learned to play the guitar for the part. When his acting career is over he has a furture in a blues band.

Surprised to find out in the credits that it's actually Samuel L Jackson singing on some of the songs. When I saw the movie I thought if was someone else.
Great soundtrack for a movie that deserves more attention. The pressing itself seems to be of good quality too.

Samuel L. Jackson is good performing blues standards, but the really highlight is the specially composed and performed music.

The plot of the movie was silly and it wasn't a commercial hit, but the soundtrack is well worth having for fans of modern blues a la White Stripes.

Note there are no performances by Son House - only recordings of him speaking. But it kind of ties the whole thing together.

Ein absolut genialer Soundtrack zu einem ebenso genialen Film!

Dass der Protagonist Samuel L. Jackson einige der Lieder im Film selbst singt finde ich sehr beeindruckend und die Intensität dieser Filmszenen hat sich in dem Soundtrack gut eingefangen.
Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert!
