Jason Isbell revs up Johnny Cash’s trucker anthem “All I Do Is Drive” for the soundtrack to the new Netflix film The Ice Road. Both film and soundtrack are out now.
For his version, Isbell adopts Cash’s signature rhythm and fills out the arrangement with some extra rock & roll muscle in the form of lightly distorted guitars that match the walking patterns of the original. He also shifts it to a different key to account for the differences in their range. The end result has the feel of...

Steven Seagal goes a little bit country in Warner Bros.' "Fire Down Below", a serviceable eco-thriller set in the Appalachians.
Not only does Seagal surround himself with enough familiar faces to fill a Grand Ole Opry lineup (Kris Kristofferson, Randy Travis, Travis Tritt, Marty Stuart, Mark Collie and Loretta Lynn's twin daughters, Patsy and Peggy), he writes and performs a number of the soundtrack's bluegrass and country-rock selections.
That change-of-pace flavor, as well as a snappier-than-expected script thanks to Jeb Stuart ("The Fugitive", "Die Hard") and Philip Morton, helps lift this 10th Seagal vehicle above recent efforts, but probably not enough to generate any tangible boxoffice heat. Still, "Fire Down Below" could rise to the occasion for its video release.
Seagal plays Jack Taggart, a federal Environmental Protection Agency marshal who poses as a relief-mission handyman in a tiny southeastern Kentucky town where a colleague has been mysteriously killed.
The distrustful townsfolk don't exactly send out the welcome wagon to greet Taggart. They quickly see right through his flimsy cover (even though he does demonstrate a flair for porch-fixing), and there are many who would like to see the snooping intruder gone, dead or alive.
Despite the lack of cooperation, Taggart manages to make friends with Sarah Kellogg (Marg Helgenberger), the local outcast whose dark past involves her creepy brother Earl (Stephen Lang). The investigation soon leads to Orin Hanner Sr. (Kristofferson), a ruthless mining tycoon who has been using outlying shuttered coal mines as illegal toxic-dump sites.
Maybe it has something to do with making all that music or that Appalachian air, but Seagal is unmistakably looser here, even letting a little smile escape once in awhile. He certainly gets some able assistance from Kristofferson, still in "Lone Star" bad-guy mode, and Helgenberger, who has a nice, earthy quality as the dignified coal miner's daughter.
Also providing color are Harry Dean Stanton as a local denizen who may not be as loopy as he seems, Levon Helm as the town preacher, and country performers Alex Harvey and Collie as a pair of local bullies.
The script isn't above taking advantage of the rural setting to work a little requisite incest into the plot line, but the dialogue (particularly in scenes between Seagal and Kristofferson) has its crisp moments; while veteran TV director Felix Enriquez Alcala makes a proficient feature bow.
Tech credits are similarly solid. Cinematographer Tom Houghton effectively captures those rolling green hills, while Nick Glennie-Smith's score delivers the appropriate twang. Costume designer Rosanna Norton ("The Flintstones"), meanwhile, manages to work around Seagal's continuing preference for those native-tinged, dark leather designer coats, by brightening things up with lots of denim for the supporting characters.
