Review

Entertainment Weekly (1/17/97, pp.61-63) - "...a subtle-ambient soundscape....Lanois has created a score that goes a long way toward making SLING BLADE the creepy, artsy backwoods experience it is..." - Rating: B

Title Note

Original score written by Daniel Lanois and Mark Howard.

Producers include: Daniel Lanois, Mark Howard.

Engineers Include: Mark Howard, Wayne Lorenz.

Producer/musician Daniel Lanois's moody, atmospheric score for this story of a Southerner trying to start over after being institutionalized for 25 years is full of as much drama and feeling as the film itself. Lanois made his name producing such artists as U2, Bob Dylan, and Peter Gabriel, and his trademark is a dark, swampy sound. That sound, which is both organic and mysterious, fits perfectly in this story.

The score is rich and ambient, featuring Lanois's heavily-processed guitar and the help of a few extraordinary players (mentor Brian Eno, jazz drummer Brian Blade, Emmylou Harris). It's complemented by tunes by country singer Bambi Lee Savage, Booker T. & The MGs, and the rock band Local H (covering Guided By Voices' "Smothered in Hugs"). Also included is "The Maker," which first appeared on Lanois's 1989 solo album ACADIE. It's a churning, funky update of the homegrown spiritualism perfected by the Band in the 1960s, and it closes the album on a hopeful note.
