Now this is how to write a Country song! Nashville soundtrack from Robert Altman
O My Soul has really done a treasure dig here and this first one broke me up. . . . .the other a much more serious display of Ronee’s wonderful voice
Ronee Blakely - Tapedeck In His Tractor
Nashville is Robert Altman’s portrait of the country music industry. It’s a mosaic made of many characters in complex relationships deeply rooted in the music itself. Altman chose not to use existing songs or established country singers. Instead, the actors did all their own singing and in most cases wrote their material. Keith Carradine, Henry Gibson, and Karen Black all sang in character and did it well.
Ronee Blakely’s background was the exception. She was a relatively obscure singer-songwriter undertaking her first movie role as a Loretta Lynn-like star with a bad case of nerves. Her voice is the standout in the movie and “Tapedeck In His Tractor” lets her turn it loose, backed by top-notch Nashville players. Oh, and she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar.
