Additional The Big Easy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Information

While it didn't do for Louisiana music what the film The Harder They Come did for reggae, the soundtrack to director Jim McBride's steamy and stylized cops-and-corruption movie is a pretty good introduction to the region's extensive musical delights (even if gospel's great Swan Silvertones are from West Virginia). The late Dewey Balfa (who appears in the film's sweet porch-party scene) is to Cajun music's rural past what Terrance Simien and Zachary Richard are to its rocking present. Buckwheat Zydeco is to zydeco what Beausoleil is to Cajun: an intelligent synthesis of the old and new that you can dance to. It's a shame the St. Augustine's Marching Hundred's raw and jumping version of "Li'l Liza Jane" didn't make the cut from film to album. And it's an even bigger shame that star Dennis Quaid's awful ballad did. --Richard Gehr

 

What Customers Say About The Big Easy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack:

I recommend it if you enjoy Cajun music. This CD was great, and I have a special playlist for it on my ipod and itunes. Though I only considered the original movie with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin to be average, I was blown away by the soundtrack. The music was an important counterpoint to the storyline.

but as a doctor, I am quite capable of doing things correctly-so, what I have come away from this second experience is -don't order from Amazon.I then ordered a breadmaker and the order went to 'one stop shopping' a (which it was) and utilized a card that I have purposely cancelled with a leter (Amazon Visa).-again -it is just not worth the time to follow your instructioins and correft it though I have never, to my knowledge, in the last year used that card-and dropped the order.Diane Berman The problem is in the billing.This is the second time that I have ordered an item and gotton two copies-clearly I am doing somehting wrong.

If you love anything NOLA, then get this movie. Pros: This is such a great movie, filmed in possibly the most unique city in America. I've got both and probably watch the VHS more than the DVD. It'll become one of your favorites.Cons: The color is a little washed out compared to the VHS version. If you know New Orleans, you'll realize how well the film makers captured it. The "accents" are a little over-the-top, but the acting is great, the music wonderful, and the story-line and directing top-notch.

I love both. Great soundtrack, if you liked the movie and New Orleans.

I predict you'all will jus' love it. We loved the movie and discovered the sound track. As a New Orleans regular this CD just adds to the mood when we are back home.
