Elizabethtown Score by Nancy Wilson

Elizabethtown 伊麗莎白鎮
導演卡麥隆克洛(香草天空、成名在望、征服情海)2005年十月的愛情喜劇。由魔戒系列電影精靈弓箭手奧蘭多布魯與蜘蛛人系列電影女主角克麗絲汀鄧斯特主演。
是說因為人生低潮有意尋死的Drew(奧蘭多),接獲父親去世的消息而在回到故鄉伊麗莎白小鎮後人生的改變。
一天在日本HMV網頁上見到這片的原聲帶在賣,於是就找來聽。
伊麗莎白鎮在美國肯塔基洲,因此片中音樂充滿了鄉村搖滾氣息。
原聲帶收錄的歌曲藝人包括Tom Petty、Ryan Adams...等知名鄉村音樂人。Tom Petty的It's All Work Out雖是鄉村樂,但是集它中卻帶有點絲竹感,聲音還像史汀,相當值得一聽。
南西威爾森擔綱配樂。整張配樂就是純粹的鄉村搖滾音樂,適合開車在高速公路上漫遊。配樂除了基本的合弦集它主軸和鄉村必備口琴外,加上了鋼琴。鄉村的慵懶閒適下帶有些許的沉靜穩重。
南西威爾森另外有個樂團叫"Heart",是個硬式搖滾團。而今年南西威爾森也因為這次的配樂榮獲影評人獎最佳作曲人的提名。

Directed by Cameron Crowe (JerryMaguire, Almost Famous). A 2005 romantic comedy starring Orlando Bloom( Lord of The Rings) and Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man).
After learning his own father's death, suicidal Drew back to his hometown, Elizabethtown, Kentucky and realize something new about life.

I noticed the soundtrack on HMV Japan site one day, and I went to check it out.
There is no doubt the album full of country music. From Tom Petty to Ryan Adams.
The song "It's All Work Out" sung by Tom Petty, it's a country music but it also sounds like a Chinese music and vocal is similar to Sting.

The score was by Nancy Wilson, from a hard rock band "Heart", and been nominated Best Composer this year Boradcast Film Critics Award.
