Don't miss music from the film 'Winter's Bone' performed live in concert feat. Marideth Sisco, Blackberry Winter, Bo Brown, Van Colbert, Dennis Crider, Tedi May and Linda Stoffel  at Nashville's The End

 

Marideth Sisco: Right now I’m up to my ears in the fallout from the movie Winter’s Bone, in which I’m the featured singer and music consultant. Somehow it didn’t occur to me that people would a) watch the movie closely enough to notice me, b) recognize me on the street, or c) insist on knowing where they could find the music from the movie, or more just like it. Ok, I’ll confess. I made the movie without one thought that I might want to make a CD as well – and soon. Who knew? I didn’t feel so bad about my lack of preparedness after Winter’s Bone producer Jonathan Scheuer heaved a sigh over the same subject and said “We really didn’t expect this.”

 

The “this” he’s referring to is “Winter’s Bone,” winning best picture and best screenplay at Sundance, more honors in Berlin, and hefty distribution deals with Roadside Attractions (North American rights) and Fortissimo (overseas). Suddenly this little low-budget tale shot in the Ozarks is getting some impressive international buzz. And much to my surprise, so am I.

Now here we are as another year begins, and so much has happened it would be impossible to tell it all at once. Instead, I’ve told it in fits and starts throughout this blog, which was begun in May of 2010 and which to date has received more than 33,000 hits from folks like you, who were moved by the movie and mused by the music, and came calling, some just to drop in for a minute, others to sit a spell and visit, as we say in the Ozarks. It’s been wonderful to meet you, even if briefly, and I hope you’ll stop by again soon. In the meantime, I’m about to begin another semester teaching English, while arranging songs for another album and doing research on a story that might be a movie someday. Oh, and coming up with “big windies” for telling on my little radio show.

Life is full of wonder and surprises. Some of them way more satisfying than one might expect. The lives of us hillbillies is generally slower than this, and this hillbilly is having a time getting used to it. That will happen all in good time, I expect. In the meantime, drop me a note or send me a song if you’re so inclined. Happy Trails, you’uns. Come back when you can stay longer.
