BROKEBACK
MOUNTAIN
–
Soundtrack
Had
this
been
a comedy
the
soundtrack
may
have
contained
music
by the
Village
People,
Erasure
and
Ween,
but
the
serious
nature
of the
subject
made
that
an impossibility.
The
collection
of country
flavoured
songs
is a
mixture
of tunes
by well
known
artists
as well
as pieces
of Gustavo
Santaolalla’s
film
score.
His
soundscapes
are
somber,
lonesome
guitar
and
pedal
steel
passages
invoking
the
vast
landscape
of the
film,
conveying
the
alienation
of the
cowboys,
their
surroundings
and
their
forbidden
love.
Some
of the
names
include
Willie
Nelson,
Emmylou
Harris,
Linda
Ronstadt,
Jackie
Green,
and
The
Gas
Band.
Teddy
Thompson
and
Rufus
Wainwright
appear
individually
as well
as together
on their
rendition
of King
Of The
Road.
The
solemn
mood
is only
alleviated
by around
track
7 with
Steve
Earle’s
The
Devil’s
Right
Hand.
