This excellent Daniel Lanois score casually mixes and matches genres, sliding from back-porch picking ("Jimmy Was") to cranked fusion guitar ("Orange Kay"). Also present are a crew of intriguing debutantes, including singer Bambi Lee Savage and a Robbie Robertson-like singer named Tim Gibbons. --Jeff Bateman
Customer Reviews:
Awesome CD!.......2007-02-11
Love the movie soundtrack. Hard to find in mint condition. Amazon had it available and shipped super fast.
Good Music.......2005-10-19
I think the score is great. It has that mystical quality which matches the theme of the movie. The movie is one of the best and the sound track likewise.
Amazing Album.......2003-12-19
Not very descriptive I know, so I apologize. But simply put, this is an amazing, ethereal and haunting album. Absolutely fantastic.
sling blade.......2003-09-16
WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE CD, WAS TO ME NOTHING LIKE THE MUSIC IN THE MOVIE. I LOOKED SO FOWARD TO GETTING IT BECAUSE OF LOVING THE MOVIE SO MUCH. THIS CD SOUND TRACK SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS AN AFTER THOUGHT AFTER THE MOVIE WAS MADE. NOW IM STUCK WITH IT.
A reawakening.......2003-08-08
I bought this CD after the film first came out, so taken was I by the extraordinary magic it evoked. Then I lost it - until last week, in August 2003, when I found it again, and am even more impassioned not only by Lanois' originality and skill, but the brilliant way he crosses and mixes genres. Being from Quebec and living in Mexico, I suddenly felt a connection with my homeland - the only part of Canada that, like Mexico, has a patron saint: Jean Batiste, the hero of "The Maker". This CD, like the movie, is wonderful...energetic, soulful, tender, and above all, "musical" in the true sense of the word. Linda

Album Description
From the Scram and Bo-Sound labels comes this supreme collection from a master of funk! Remixed from the original multi-track tapes, this release contains previously unreleased tracks and extended versions of the hits "The Hook and Sling," "Sissy Walk," and "If It's Good To You It's Good For You." Featuring George Davis on guitar, James Black on drums, and Fred Kemp on sax, this is an illuminating body of work that supplements what we know about New Orleans funk.

earlier review needs to be corrected.......2007-01-11
Let's face it: Stereo freaks like the person who gave this record a one-star review cannot be trusted when it comes to real music. Ignore the review, and check for yourself. Eddie's spirit and music are way beyond any star-rating system. The man wrote the book on New Orleans funk and R&B. The fact that he is also a survivor of Hurricane Katrina who lost almost everything due to the disaster, should instead make us do what we can to recommend people to buy his records and support him in any way we can.
Eddie Bo is a true American original, in the very best sense of the word.
Great songs, bad mastering.......2006-08-14
Initially, I bought this for "Hook & Sling" and "The Thang Pts. 1 & 2" (both are hip hop/b-boy essentials), but there are a lot of other good funk and rhythm & blues songs on this CD.
I rated this (1) star only because of the sound quality. This will not be an issue for most listeners, but I am very picky when it comes to compact discs. When I buy a compact disc, I expect the songs to sound "perfect."
There are a couple of songs that sound perfect (Sissy Walk, It It's Good To You, & Just Wonder), but most of them were either poorly mastered or the source material that they did the mastering from was not good to begin with. They even took some of the songs straight off of 7"/LP vinyl (Check Your Bucket, The Thang Pts 1 & 2, Funky Jam, & Come To Me), and you can still hear all of the snap, crackles, and rice krispies.
The songs are (5) stars excellent, but the sound quality makes this CD a (1) star in my book. To each their own... like I said, I am rather particular about the sound quality, and this will probably not be an issue for most listeners.

Iceland may be the land of volcanoes, wondrous vistas, and Bjork, but Henrik Bjornsson and his bandmates in Singapore Sling have taken their musical inspirations from horizons as far a field as Dick Dale, the Velvet Underground, and Jesus & Mary Chain. Powered by a triple-guitar assault that easily lives up to its droning, metallic potential, the Sling's ominous sonic assault can just as quickly morph into subtler shades of grey. "Feedback-drenched" does not usually connote a sense of adventurous variety, but that's just the trick Bjornsson and company turn here time and again. Loosing the Lynch/Tarantino-ready opening salvo of "Overdriver," they periodically return to its-'50s-bad-boy-meets-surf-guitar-in-hell on "Listen" and the highway-ready instrumental "Roadkill." Elsewhere they tip their hat to Transformer-era Lou Reed on the sunny "Summer Garden" and turn the Standells' garage classic "Dirty Water" into marauding fuzz-fest. And while their influences may be readily deconstructed, the resulting haze of sonic somnambulism on this promising debut is shrouded in considerably more mystery. --Jerry McCulley

for the lysergically impaired & frequently volume despaired.............2007-07-03
think the best tracks from the first j.a.m.c. singles & the psychocandy lp (putting just like honey and some candy talking to the side for this consideration), spacemen 3 at their most fuzzed/drugged out, anything from loop's first 3 lp's or first 4 singles/eps, early telescopes (ala 7# disaster, the perfect needle, or precious little e.p.'s), the best buzzing from b.r.m.c.'s amps, &, then, use only as directed...HERE, THAT IS!!!...since this is available as an over-the-counter medication, place on stereo, turn volume to max, & press play.....if there's something else out there that's THIS drugged & psyched-out, totally drenched in fuzz & bathed in a 'could care less' attitude, PLEASE let me know what/who it is.....this release has received about 400+ plays here w/in the last 3 wks. and it's not likely to be shelved ANYTIME soon AT ALL!!!.....almost as good as 'venus in furs' or 'i heard her call my name' or 'the gift' by the v.u.!!!.....ok, u should have by now gotten the idea.....a pharmaceutical breakthru!!!
Not a curse, but Singapore Sling's blessing.......2004-10-04
It can only be speculated what chemicals these guys were on when Singapore Sling recorded this CD, but chances are it was probably the same stuff The Verve took during 'A Storm In Heaven' or Primal Scream popped during 'Screamadelica'. 'Curse Of Singapore Sling' is a whirlwind hallucinatory guitar ride, a vitriolic and mind-altering experience. Just think Jesus And Mary Chain meets Spacemen 3 or a more psychadelic The Raveonettes, all with a touch of fierce psychobilly swagger. Amongst other interesting substances, you can also smell the dust and gas-fumes trailing behind the Harley. You can smell the danger. 'Curse Of Singapore Sling' is great album by another overlooked Swedish band.
The new Icelandic sound.......2004-04-21
This is a mysterious band from Reykjavik, Iceland. There dark origins cannot be traced to the Icelandic sagas. No they don't sound like Bjork or Sigur Ros. They sound more like Raveonettes and draw from the same beatnik sources. Henrik Bjornsson writes most of the tunes. His friends show up and drink a lot and make a lot of f***ing noise. That's the way Revolver was made. Singapore Sling have been together for about three years now. Recently they opened some shows for the intense Brian Jonestown Massacre. That makes sense because both bands have a love for feedback and psychedelia. Any song without a minute of feedback is a sellout really. All their songs are about f***ing, which is a valid statement. I want to get high with these guys. This is music to take drugs to. I must pull my pants down. Let the revolution begin!
Good but needs to be retracked.......2003-10-18
I think the album tracks better in this order:
1 Overdrive
2 Nuthin' Ain't Bad
3 Midnight
4 No Soul Man
5 Roadkill
6 Overdrive Demomix (not on album, from band's website)
7 Listen
8 Dirty Water
9 Chantisissity
10 Heart Of Chrome
The songs are good, but could flow together better to make a continuous sludge of sound instead of one heavy song followed by a slow song as the album is currently tracked. Summer Garden does not fit with the other songs and should have been left off the album. There seems to be a slight twangyness to some of the songs. The new B.R.M.C. is a much harder album, this sounds more like early The Jesus and Mary Chain meets country. Worth getting, though.
Uneven, but who gives a f*#@.......2003-08-01
This is a maddening record! The highs are so high and the lows are so low, it drives me nuts!! "Summer Garden" and especially "Overdriver" are two of the GREATEST songs I've heard since, well honestly since Fountains of Wayne's new record "Welcome Interstate Managers," but BEFORE THAT since I don't remember when!
The rest of the record is an uneven collection not so good to down right waste of time songs. I give this record 4 stars on the strength of the first two songs.
The band, however, is a promising group. I look forward to hearing more from them. Sinapore Sling fit well with The Hives, The Strokes, The Wizards, White Stripe, etc. Rock and Roll is in good hands with these guys.

Jesus (and Mary Chain) Resurrected!!!.......2005-01-29
Hallelujah! This is one damn fine album. Very fuzzy and pleasant to listen to.Velvety vocals, fuzzy guitar riffs, steady beats,can't go wrong! "Life is killing my rock'n roll" is catchy and clever. If you are/were a Jesus and Mary Chain fan you will dig this...a soundscape of subtleties guaranteed to please the experienced ear.
Get this record now: this band is going to be big.......2004-10-04
You can say youwere there first. This is a band that brings back a lot of memories. And due to a lot of drug abuse, there was much more forgotten good times. This band is creating a buzz. This is the second joint from the Sling. They have had a lot of experiences touring and playing in front of live audiences. They focus on their strengths this time: noise, power, and freedom. The album begins with a blast of feedback. For twelve tracks it is a hot ride. They bring everything to the plate that is good about music: from The Beatles to The Ramones. Let's forget everything else. This is the coolest band around. The lead singer looks like James Dean.

i really like this EP. I was obsessed with season 2 of Laguna Beach, and I loved all the music on it, especially Ginger's. Her lyrics, voice, and music are great too. If you watched Laguna Beach or if you liked Halo Friendlies, buy this!
