The Guthrie Center for the Performing Arts introduces Mildred Taylor's--
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry!
Soundtrack:
First two songs taken from O Brother, Where Art Thou?--(www.losthighwayrecords.com)
1.) Down to the River to Pray-by Alison Krauss
I chose this song because it relates to that time period of the 1930's. The movie that this song was made for related to the South and hard life of those days. I felt it was a nice somber song for the country life that they lived in. To me, it set up the mood for how they faced daily life.
2.) I'll Fly Away--Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch
This is the contemporary version of an old gospel hymn that was written in 1929. It brings me happiness every time I hear it. When life gets difficult, this song gives me hope for the next life. I'm sure the Logan's wanted to be "free," just like a bird. They wanted to fly far away from all of the harrassments and abuses they had to endure.
3.)Down Home Folks Blues Harp Jam--by: Markus Bravo (Composer, producer, multiple instrumentalist)

This song makes me want to learn how to play the harmonica. This fun toe-tappin' song lifts my spirits and I'm sure it would appeal to the audience for setting the mood for this story. It would be one that plays often throughout the musical.
