Subject: RE: Cold Mountain
I just went back and listened to the soundtrack.

1) Who thought that "Sitting on Top of the World" was Civil War era?

2) Alison Krauss and Jack White are just too modern for this kind of thing.

3) Shove that Pig's Foot a Little Further in the Fire!


Could they seriously not find any genuine old-time musicians for this? Why was it necessary to hire commercial bluegrass artists and then have them play the yokel? The Tim Eriksen, Riley Baugus, Cassie Franklin, and shape-note stuff is a lot better.
