Music reviews of Mark Twain: A Film Directed By Ken Burns
Music Review: These are beautiful renditions of familiar songs...
Rating: 5 Stars
Of the 29 selections, about 1/3 are by Bobby Horton (multi-string instruments) about 1/3 are by Jacqueline Schwab (piano); the rest are by other artists you will want to get to know! The list includes favorites like: Sweet Betsy from Pike, Poor Wayfarin' Stranger, Hard Times (two renditions of this well-known Civil War song), Maple Meaf Rag, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, and 23 others. Aside from the historical significance, the music itself it simply beautiful, and the artists are top in their field. Much work was done to customize these selections for the movie, and the effort has paid off in a finished product that is timeless and perfectly balanced.

Description of Mark Twain: A Film Directed By Ken Burns
Original Soundtrack Recording Mark Twain - A Film Directed By Ken Burns by Original Motion Picture SoundtrackThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
The score to Ken Burns's Mark Twain will feel instantly familiar to fans of the popular documentary filmmaker's earlier work. As with Burns's The Civil War and Baseball, pianist Jacqueline Schwab and multi-instrumentalist Bobby Horton have been enlisted to tailor tunes to suit Burns's needs. Schwab provides gracious takes on traditional songs such as "Wagoner's Lad" and "Sweet Betsy from Page," contributing to the drawing-room ambiance of the score. Horton, meanwhile, brings a bit more frontier texture to the proceedings on the string-driven likes of "Dogue Creek" (one of three new numbers from Al Petteway), "Poor Wayfarin' Stranger," and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Actor Kevin Conway stands in for the man of the hour, reading witticisms from Twain and pulling the package together. --Steven Stolder
