This Tumbleweeds album is occupied, for the most part, by source songs. David Mansfield's score is organised into an 'Intro' track and four short suites with the emphasis on strings with guitar, banjo, mandolin etc, painting the score in American/country music colours. 'Suite #1' contains some energetic string passages, which quickly revert to a quite beautiful theme stated by a solo guitar, discreetly accompanied by a small orchestra. Delicate string themes also appear through the rest of the 'Suites' always performed with adequate sensitivity and polish. In 'Suite #3' agitated string sequences, convey anger and disagreement, later forgiveness and reconciliation in 'Making Up'. 'Suite #4' provides a care-free conclusion to the score with laid-back, mellow strings. Hardcore filmmusic aficionados may be deterred by the abundance of source songs in this album but they will overlook an otherwise likeable, soothing and relaxing score.
