In his tale of two cowboys whose lives twist and fray, director Stephen Frears casts a nostalgic eye on the postwar West but falls short of reinventing Hollywood's most circumscribed genre, the Western. Although <I>The Hi-Lo Country</I> is set in northern New Mexico, its soundtrack sounds decidedly Lone Star. With famous Texans like Willie Nelson and the matchless yodeler Don Walser crooning some dusty charmers and a couple of country standards like "San Antonio Rose" and "Why Don't You Love Me" thrown in for good measure, the overall mood is very barbecue-friendly. Only Beck, who duets with Nelson on "Drivin' Nails in My Coffin" sounds a bit out of place here, his nasal drawl in curious contrast to Nelson's unmistakable whinny. Carter Burwell's score is standard-issue "epic" in its long gazes that suggest the largeness of both the West and the men's souls who inhabit it, but it gains an edge with its austere cadences and Mexican trumpet and guitar flourishes. <I>--Lois Maffeo</I>

4 out of 5 stars from hi to lo.......2001-05-27

I'll declare from the outset that I haven't seen the film, so I don't know if the music unfolds on the disc in the same order as it does in the film. My guess is probably not, and therefore the (much less interesting) orchestral score wouldn't drag the chain like it does on the cd - which is very much an album of 2 distinct halves. The initial block of country, country swing, "novelty" and tex/mex tracks move along very nicely until the disembodied dynamics of the orchestral movements grind towards a finale. Still, the format does make it easier to switch off after the first section, rather than skipping tracks here and there. Hey, maybe that's why the distributors did it that way. Doh!!
