Funkback's comment:
If anyone has a source for a proper review please feel free to contribute! All I can say is that it's rockin' good music and some beatuiful folk songs in here. I mean a musical duel between Leadbelly and Blind Lemon Jeffersson on a train? Does it get any funkier than that? It's a moody score provided by Karlin to set the background for Leadbetters descent into whiteman's hell. The movie doesn't cover his entire career so to aprecciate that I suggest You go elsewhere. There are no original Leadbelly recordings in this OST.
