just saw Songcatcher and loved it! a great movie regradless of your interest or lack of any in old time music. Agree with comments above that it would've nice to have mountain throughout and none of the sappy hollywood strings. Agree that the decision that the Adian Quinn charecter made at the very end of the movie was a little less than credible. As was the lesbian element, 'tho other wise I appreciated the lesbian element, thought it ws well handled. The singing of old time mountain songs was great, they found a lot realy fine singers! Taj Mahal seemed a little gratuitous, a little token, a nod to political correctness, but other wise I liked the way his character was handled. However I wish he had played a traditional song that his charecter would've actually played instead using one he wrote himself, fine tune that it is though. The lead female acter is great! Photography is great! It would've nice to have credits of the musicain and singers. They did however give the songs credits in their own right, as if they were charectors, an unusual and very nice touch! Beats "O Brother..." hands down for showing respect to southern people and southern music (says this City Yankee). Does anyone if a soundtrack album is available?
