Comment:
Is it a narrative tape, a theme tape? I don't know. The concept is simple. I acquired a cheap copy of the fabulous Allison Anders film "Grace Of My Heart" the other day, and as I was watching it I remembered how much I liked the songs in the movie and, in the absence of owning the soudtrack, decided I wanted to dump some of said songs onto a tape. Somewhere along the line I got detoured into the idea of following the basic plot line of the movie with some of the "real-life" songs that the movie evidently refers to, as well as other incidental songs that just seem to fit the story. So the tape is three things I guess - a collection of some of the songs from the movie (denoted by a *), a sort of Goffin/King compilation (denoted by a **), and a narrative retelling of the movie (songs like "Bye Bye Blackbird", "Lonesome Death of Shadow Morton", etc.). There ya have it. The songs from the movie are credited to the characters, since I couldn't be bothered to figure out who did the actual vocals. It's better that way anyway.Feedback:
Great movie indeed, and a great idea for a tape, not to mention some great songs. Nice!
Randy, this is an amazing idea and a phenomenal mix all around. Serious kudos to you, my friend!
Good stuff, and great idea.
Sweet concept!! Nothing else needs to be said, except that maybe Elvis Costello's own version of God Give Me Strength would have made a nice reprise!
can i just chime in for a second on how great this idea is and how killer the outcome looks? rad.
this is really, really wonderful. i love the movie. a note: edna's/denise's vocals are provided by kristen vigard and the luminaries' vocals are provided by for real. (um...i went through a phase of slight gomh obsession, that's all.) again, great mix.
nice stuff, Randy. Well done once again
Wow, thanks for all the positive comments. Glad to see others love the movie as much as I do. In an ideal universe Ileana Douglas would be getting way more quality roles (not that such a thing really exists these days) and Alison Anders would be making blockbusters.
