Tuesday Tones

Continuing our tour of music inspired at least in part by water, we have a bit of film music by the master himself: the title track from John Williams’s score to the 1984 film The River. The movie is about a family who struggles to maintain their farm and their lives beside a river in Tennessee. I’ve never actually seen the film, but the score is highly regarded. The main theme is optimistic Americana with a southern twang to it.
