Black Snake Moan (CD New West)

The soundtrack for the film Black Snake Moan, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci, and Justin Timberlake, features a diverse range of artists: The Black Keys, John Doe, Son House, and North Mississippi Allstars. The most surprising aspect of the album is Samuel L. Jackson’s four musical contributions, which are guttural blues songs. Highlights include: “Stack-O-Lee” and “When the Lights Go Out.”
