Album Description
Music from the critically acclaimed HBO Series Deadwood featuring American roots music from an eclectic mix of artists ranging from Lyle Lovett to June Carter Cash with full dialog excerpts from some of your favorite moments. Deadwood: The Complete First Season available now on DVD.
Amazon.com
The West of veteran TV writer/Deadwoodcreator David Milch is as grim as it is gritty, sprinkled with salty dialogue and punctuated by sudden brutality and raw sexuality. The original soundtrack cues by composer David Schwartz (represented here by his evocative show theme), Michael Brook and Reinhold Heil and Johnny Klimek play off that vision with often stark rootsiness. But it's the series' rich slate of songs -- choices whose inventiveness often rivals that of The Sopranos -- that consistently reinforce its all-too-human drama, if not the crusty veneer. This collection gathers the best songs from the series' first season, coloring the milieu with evocative hillbilly romps like Michael Hurley's "Hog of the Forsaken" and the a capella grace of Margaret's Native American "Creek Lullaby." But the collection's musical eclecticism stretches far beyond mere genre concerns, variously encompassing the nascent jazz of Jelly Roll Morton (a rollicking "Stars and Stripes Forever"), Delta blues of Bukka White and Mississippi John Hurt and even Gustavo Santaolalla's hypnotic Brazilian fretwork. But the collection's country and folk-tinged performances are its most resonant, whether invoking earthy traditions (the gospel fervor of the late June Carter Cash's "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee's more heretical "God and Man") or more contemporary stylings like Lyle Lovett's "Old Friend" and the gentle "Twisted Little Man" by Michael J. Sheehy. --Jerry McCulley

 Disappointing CD December 3, 2008
I assumed that the cd would contain ALL misic from the series, unfortunatly they included dialogue from the series which in my opinion detracts for the content of the disc.
 Decent Music, Great Sound Clips November 11, 2008
I was referred to this soundtrack by a friend who knew I was looking for obscure, old-timey American music. Though I'm not a fan of "Deadwood", some of the music was quite fetching. Also included on this soundtrack are sound clips from the series which, while they are quite vulgar, are also very humorous to me, even out of context. I'm sure "Deadwood" enthusiasts would love this album, and fans of old-timey American music should be satisfied as well.
 Fine Americana August 1, 2008

This CD really grew on me. When I listened to it for the first couple of times, I liked it okay, enjoyed the snippets of dialogue, but wasn't overwhelmed. Then a couple days later I punched it up on my iPod to listen to on my morning commute. And I can't seem to stop listening to it. The songs flow so gorgeously into one another that they create a great aural picture of America.
I guess it's too much to hope for a second and third volume of this CD, to incorporate the songs from the other two seasons. But if there were, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.
 If you miss Deadwood... July 13, 2008
If you miss Deadwood then this CD will cheer you up. Here's hoping there's some new Deadwood in our future.
Deadwood review December 28, 2007
My husband & I are huge Deadwood fans. We put this CD on both our ipods. We only wish there was more than one. Use headphones it's definitely not for youngsters.
