Shout! Factory's 2011 DVD Line-Up (Tentative) (1 Viewer)

[Mark Edward Heuck]

 
Are you at liberty to tell us which song is the problem?
  

Cliff likely cannot discuss the matter since it would be impolitical, and he is likely trying to solve it quietly behind the scenes. That being said, I spent a ridiculous amount of time tracing the songs and songwriters behind the soundtrack - because music licensing is not just about who performs the song but who wrote it as well - and managed to narrow down the possibilities.The song in question could be"A Friend" - since Jerry Reed shares songwriting credit with Don Williams;"I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water" - written by Stonewall Jackson;"Blues Stay Away from Me" - written by the Delmore Brothers;"My Bucket's Got a Hole in It" - written by Clarence Williams (not the "MOD SQUAD" star, so you know)"The Losing End" - I cannot for the life of me find a songwriter credit for this one, but it's performed by Mel Tillis and Jerry in the film, so perhaps that's a factor.

Does Shout Factory have the rights to Vincente Minnelli's "A Matter of Time", starring Liza Minnelli and Ingrid Bergman?

No, that is owned by MGM through the Orion buyout. Maybe it will appear MOD.

The song in question could be
"A Friend" - since Jerry Reed shares songwriting credit with Don Williams;
"I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water" - written by Stonewall Jackson;
"Blues Stay Away from Me" - written by the Delmore Brothers;
"My Bucket's Got a Hole in It" - written by Clarence Williams (not the "MOD SQUAD" star, so you know)
"The Losing End" - I cannot for the life of me find a songwriter credit for this one, but it's performed by Mel Tillis and Jerry in the film, so perhaps that's a factor.

Great post, Marc. I had googled the soundtrack info and realized it was not going to be an easy task to get this.

Given Cliff's comment about the artist being notorious for not allowing their music to be used seems to rule out Jerry Reed since (a) he's deceased and Cliff refers to said artist in present tense and (b) Jerry's music is intact on the Smokey/Bandit DVDs.

Don Williams and Mel Tillis both have numerous country hits but both have appeared sporadically on various soundtracks. Don was on Smokey #2 and didn't Mel sing Coca Cola Cowboy in one of Clint's movies? The Delmores are deceased as is Clarence Williams. Stonewall jackson is a classic country performer and I'm not aware of many movies using his songs.

the mystery deepens....

DVD Talk review of Bad Dreams and Visiting Hours:


Bad Dreams / Visiting Hours (Shout! Factory double feature) - DVD Talk review

Note that in the extras info the DVD Talk reviewer states there is a theatrical trailer for Visiting Hours. This is confusing.

 

[Corey3rd]

Special features only has Radio Spot, TV Spots and Photo Gallery
there's 4 TV spots using the hospital windows turning into the skull. It's such a great ad campaign

 

[WaveCrest]

Thanks for clearing that up Joe.

Can't wait to see these TV spots for Visiting Hours.

First posted about in this thread by Cliff in post #715 on page 24 of this thread.

Ah, that's where I heard it? I'm on so many message boards, and talk to Cliff on facebook, sometimes I forget where I hear a piece of information.

"The Losing End" - I cannot for the life of me find a songwriter credit for this one, but it's performed by Mel Tillis and Jerry in the film, so perhaps that's a factor.

Ken Bloom's book Hollywood Song credits The Losin' End (note the apostrophe - that might be why you had difficulty) to Ken McDuffie, both words and music.

It may be where you heard it, it may not be where you heard it.

[Corey3rd]

any idea when Streets/Angel In Red goes up for pre-order?

 

[SWFF]

Pre-order link added to opening post for STREETS/ANGEL IN RED (DOUBLE FEATURE).

 

[WaveCrest]

Cliff, will Streets and Angel in Red be on two separate discs in the DVD case, like with Bad Dreams and Visiting Hours?

 

[WaveCrest]

99 and 44/100% Dead / The Nickel Ride has been pushed back three weeks to Tuesday December 13th (source: Amazon.com).

 

[Corey3rd]

then that's the december release.

 

[SWFF]
