But now I know there's such a thing as "rockabilly gospel," that's what I'm going to call this.<br /><br />(Though, thinking about this, I do still wonder how you draw a distinction between gospel and hymns. I mean, they're not the same. So what's gospel and what's a hymn, if we don't limit gospel to Southern African-American churches--which it seems we don't?)<br /><br />The rockabilly comment wasn't supposed to contradict your definition of the music as "country"--rockabilly and bluegrass are totally country. I was trying to draw a distinction between the type of country I don't like (Garth Brooks-style mainstream stuff) and country that I quite like, which is that fringy rockabilly and bluegrass stuff, the music that sort of (as you point out) straddles country and blues.<br /><br />I don't know what's wrong with my expression today.

Pulp Fiction as a movie is Ok but a lot of the soundtrack i think is a really interesting mix of songs.<br /><br />I agree that OBWAT is quiet rockabilly (which sits on the edge of country) but there are a few gospel songs like 'Fly Away" "Down to the River", aunty Naida sings them in church so I think that its got to be classified as Gospel. You have to fix the Blues Brothers gap in your collection, well if you like the movie because really the best bits are the actual blues brothers music.Buffy Stun-Hershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457770956881570334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290018095724594998.post-27145731653850350442009-04-23T15:48:00.000+10:002009-04-23T15:48:00.000+10:00See, isn't that interesting?

I do have the <I>Reality Bites</I> soundtrack, but rarely listen to it now, because I don't <I>want</I> to be reminded of the film, which I hate with a deep and fiery passion. Ditto the <I>Pulp Fiction</I> soundtrack, though I don't hate that film--I am simply very, very bored by it (though less bored, I admit, than I have been by everything that Tarantino has made subsequently. <I>Kill Bill</I> nearly put me in a coma). <br /><br />I do, though, deeply love the <I>O Brother, Where Art Thou?</I> soundtrack (I'd have called it rockabilly and folk, rather than gospel, but they're all drinking out of the same pool) and <I>The Crow</I> soundtrack.<br /><br />(Don't have <I>Blues Brothers</I>, oddly--but I have most of the artists on difference albums, so it kind of balances out.)Catrionahttp://circulatinglibrary.netnoreply@blogger.com
