Thanks for the Music 'Wallander'

Posted by: J.N. on 17 August 2012

Although Krister Henriksson is my favourite 'screen' Wallander, Rolf LassgÅrd (Sweden's answer to

Gérard Depardieu) makes a good, miserable, shambling job of the part.


Enjoying an episode of 'The Fifth Woman' last Saturday evening, I heard some beautifully evocative female vocal music in the background. Using the magic of the 'Shazam' app and and a bit of inter-web paddling around, I identified the track as 'All My Tears' by Emmylou Harris (the song was written by Julie Miller).


I've never really been much of an EH fan, but her album 'Wrecking Ball' (containing 'All My Tears') is simply delightful. It has a musician's production hand upon it - Daniel Lanois. He manages to deliver some beautiful songs set in a dreamy flowing landscape. A consistently great album for me.
