A Mighty Wind - Self Titled
- Music is the subject of Christopher Guest's new
mockumentary and this film adds a memorable soundtrack
that joins the ranks with Spinal Tap's "Smell the
Glove." This time it's folk music and there are some
wonderful songs on this album. All the songs are well
written featuring the talents of actors Michael
McKean, Harry Shearer, Guest, as well as Annette
O'Toole, Eugene Levy and John Michael Higgins. The
album contains songs by the groups featured, The
Folksmen (McKean, Guest, Shearer), The New Main Street
Singers and Mitch and Mickey (Levy and Catherine
O'Hara). The folk tunes range from hilarious to heart
warming. The album contains a funny Folksmen's cover
of the Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up" which is not in
the picture. This is one of the best soundtracks of
the year containing mostly original songs.
