Given that music was ostensibly the most important thing in Kurt Cobain's life, the soundtrack to the 2007 documentary ABOUT A SON offers as much insight into Cobain's heart and mind as the film itself. The collection works as both a blueprint for Cobain's musical vision, and, well, a soundtrack to his tragic life. |
|
Songs from Scratch Acid, the Melvins, and Bad Brains present the basic sonic template for Nirvana; the Vaselines and Half Japanese hint at Cobain's playful side and love of quirky pop; while CCR's "Up Around the Bend" reminds fans that Cobain was, at times, just a normal fellow from the woods. Interspersed throughout are vocal snippets of Cobain that offer a haunting counterpoint to the music while reinforcing everything it stood for in his life. More than simply a companion CD to a film, this compilation stands alone as a remarkable portrait of an amazing artist. |
