Additional The Sopranos - Peppers and Eggs: Music From The HBO Series Information
|
The Sopranos have become considerably more than just the average psychically tortured New Jersey mob family next door. HBO's innovative, if distinctly murderous soap opera has become a modern cultural icon, one whose innovative pop music score is almost an equal supporting cast member. The term dizzying has been overused in describing strong soundtrack collections, but it just might not do this second volume of Sopranos music justice. Show creator David Chase, director Martin Bruestle, and executive producer Brad Grey are credited with this rich, cross-genre, multigenerational collection, but they tellingly thank a few score others. The contributions from usual suspect vets like Frank Sinatra, Dylan, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding, Van Morrison, the Kinks, Keith Richards (and the Stones), the Pretenders, and Ben E. King contain more than their fair share of musical and contextual surprises. But the collection's true appeal lies in its artistically oblique corners, which somehow embrace alt-rock (R&B tinged and straight up, courtesy of Pigeonhed and Cake, respectively), nouveau Aussie country (Kasey Chambers), traditional gospel and swampy blues (the Campbell Brothers with Katie Jackson, R.L. Burnside), Vivaldi (Cecilia Di Bartoli), and contemporary Neopolitan pop (Madreblu, Lorenzo Jovanotti). Even budding star Uncle Junior chimes in, with Dominic "Goldenthroat" Chianese lending a spare, heartfelt rendition of the traditional "Core'ngrato"; hang onto your kneecaps, 'N Sync! --Jerry McCulley

Enjoying the CD and appreciate the timely manner in which it was shipped and good condition in which it arrived.
Too, too bad it is no longer on tv. Awsome CD. I love all of the music from the Sopranos tv series. I read all of the credits at the end of the episodes, because I simply could not stop listening to the music. Jbug
this cd couldn't have been any better.awesome.makes me want to watch the whole serie all over again.and again.and again.
I liked most of the music from The Sopranos, especially the theme, which isn't on this particular CD, and this had a lot of the music I enjoyed from the series.
two good songs on one disc, one by kasey chambers, a country and western singer from australia (go figure) and a song by "cake"the second disc is even worse. one decent song by bob dylan
