The score to Ken Burns's Mark Twain will feel instantly familiar to fans of the popular documentary filmmaker's earlier work. As with Burns's The Civil War and Baseball, pianist Jacqueline Schwab and multi-instrumentalist Bobby Horton have been enlisted to tailor tunes to suit Burns's needs. Schwab provides gracious takes on traditional songs such as "Wagoner's Lad" and "Sweet Betsy from Page," contributing to the drawing-room ambiance of the score. Horton, meanwhile, brings a bit more frontier texture to the proceedings on the string-driven likes of "Dogue Creek" (one of three new numbers from Al Petteway), "Poor Wayfarin' Stranger," and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Actor Kevin Conway stands in for the man of the hour, reading witticisms from Twain and pulling the package together. --Steven Stolder
