Soundtrack Album: The Wild And Wonderful Whites of West Virginia by Deke Dickerson - VitaMusik

ALBUM Explicit

The 2009 documentary The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia follows the infamous outlaw Appalachian family the Whites of Boone County, West Virginia, including Jesco White (who inherited his father’s talents for blending tap dancing with traditional mountain clog dancing). Throughout the film, Deke Dickerson (whose own family hails from the Appalachian part of southwestern Virginia) provides the score and most of the songs. He opens with the Elvis-influenced “Mama” before tearing into the instrumental “Train to Nowhere” (a 1:16 piece of locomotive rockabilly that harks back to Dickerson’s days in the garage band Untamed Youth). But it’s the Chuck Berry–charged “West Virginia White Boy” that really gets things going, as Dickerson muses on all the pride, vices, trials, and tribulations of life as an Appalachian. “Moss on the Trees” gets multidimensional with glockenspiel accompanying an open-tuned acoustic guitar. The album closes with the White-themed “Guns of Boone County,” a (slightly) modern take on the gunfighter ballad.
