Blood Simple (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [CD]

Varese Sarabande returns to the "scene of the crime" of one of the most storied filmmaker/composer relationships in history: Blood Simple, the debut film, score and collaboration between Joel and Ethan Coen and Carter Burwell. The original release of the score featured only 7 tracks (20 minutes) from Blood Simple on a 1987 soundtrack album to coincide with Raising Arizona. Now, 40 years after it's 1983 recording, Carter Burwell has produced a new mix and soundtrack of Blood Simple, featuring 13 tracks (35 minutes) from the original multitrack session tapes. Daniel Schweiger's detailed liner notes recount the genesis of the project and the unforgettable Coens/Burwell partnership.
