The soundtrack to the director Craig Brewer's sexually charged movie BLACK SNAKE MOAN expertly evokes the film's steamy Southern atmosphere, with contributions from the contemporary garage rock outfit the Black Keys, the mesmerizing Mississippi blues singer and guitarist Jessie Mae Hemphill, the juke joint performer R.L. Burnside, and one of its stars, Samuel L. Jackson, who performs creditable versions of the Blind Lemon Jefferson song from which the movie takes its name, and the blues classic "Stack-O-Lee."

Professional Reviews

Spin (p.87) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Jessie Mae Hemphill's 'Standing In My Doorway Crying' simply breaks your heart."

Living Blues (p.37) - "[Jackson sings] in craggy low-tenor tones that ooze sincerity. The high point of the disc is Jackson's assertive recitation of 'Stack-O-Lee'..."

Mojo (Publisher) (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "BLACK SNAKE MOAN could be the record that does for the blues what the OH BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? collection did for bluegrass."
