The Official Deadline Movie Homepage.
When it is suggested that the ‘Deadline’ soundtrack has him following in the footsteps of some very notable guitarists, Perkins responds, “I admired John Hammond’s work on ‘Little Big Man’. Same with Lanois and ‘Sling Blade’. Ry Cooder’s ‘Paris, TX’ and ‘The Long Riders’ go without saying.” Perkins says that the film’s setting in the deep South offered a particular enticement to his signing on for the project. “The region’s rich music history allowed me to cover a lot of stylistic terrain. The soundtrack is something of a travelogue of where I’ve been musically.” In building a bridge between ‘Deadline’’s two cultural locations – the shiny new urban South of cities like Atlanta and Nashville and, also, the rural South where traditions linger – Perkins’ primary tools are his guitars. They cover Appalachian and Delta ground and, on the other extreme, the modern and experimental. It is in the department of songs, however, that Perkins’ score rises above its first function as sound for picture. “To Be Redeemed” is nothing less than a contemporary civil rights anthem that reaches beyond the issue of race to voice the cry of many Americans – the currently in-the-news 99% – who are speaking out because they fear for their future.
