Notes
The Atrocious Saint "I was born for the storm." That's how Andrew Jackson described himself in his earthy style, and "Old Hickory's" life fully justified the description. When he was just thirteen years old, Jackson fought in the most vicious battles of the Revolutionary War. Before he was fifteen, his father, mother and both brothers died, leaving him alone in the world. After reading law for three years he was admitted to the North Carolina Bar, and a year later he joined the first great wave of Americans to head west to start new lives, a journey that took him to a new settlement on the farthest edge of the frontier - Nashville, Tennessee. In Nashville Jackson raised racehorses, then bet huge sums on those horses in match races. One race led to a duel in which his opponent shot Jack- son in the chest. Jackson then raised his gun and shot the man in the heart. This "wild young man" also found time to begin a scandalous affair with a married woman, who some biographers think moved in with Jackson because she knew her abusive husband wouldn't dare to cross him. There were a lot of challenges in making a film about Andrew Jackson, but the biggest was that it's almost impossible for modern Americans to really understand the hardscrabble frontier life that shaped Jackson, where the rule of conduct was "do unto others before they do it unto you." When it comes to creating a gut feeling of a time and place, music is essential, because it communicates mood and emotion straight to the heart without relying on words or pictures or anything else. Fortunately, for those of us involved in the making of "Andrew Jackson: Good, Evil and the Presidency," we had a secret weapon at our disposal: the amazing music of Christopher Hedge. To get that mood and emotion right, Chris scoured old archives for sheet music and songs of the period, traveling across the country to meet with experts in the field. Chris didn't want to simply select a few old songs for background music to our documentary; he wanted to compose music that would capture Jackson's time - a complex world of clashing cultures composed of Native Americans, frontiersmen and soldiers, merchants and farmers, politicians and slaves. Chris went deep into the Scotch/Irish roots music that Andrew Jackson's people and their contemporaries brought with them from the Old World. He followed those roots to the New World where they found expression in the fiddle-driven music and jigs of Appalachia and the rest of frontier America. Chris spent more than a year listening and composing and then reworking over and over an incredible array of songs, and when he was ready to record, he brought in some of the finest musicians in the world to play them - David Brewer on Irish instruments, Joe Weed (fiddle), Edward McClary playing Revolutionary War era field drums, and the incomparable David Grisman playing mandolin solo and with his bluegrass band, the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience. One of my best experiences working on the film was getting to sit in on one of the sessions with Grisman and his band, and listen in awe as they ripped through the traditional "Eighth of January" and Chris's original "Wild Young Man." At the end of a breakneck version of "Richard's Stomp" (created for film editor Richard Kassebaum), Chad Manning smiled over his fiddle and said, "It's so incredible to actually be playing the roots music, the music that gave birth to what we play all the time." However, Chris's daunting task was to create music that would address the American experience under Jackson from all perspectives, from Wash- ington parlor society to the frontier, from African slaves working the plantations to the clash of white and Native American cultures. Jackson's stormy career affected them all. During the war of 1812, Jackson led the U.S. army against Creek warriors at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. The Creeks, allied with the British, be- lieved they were making a last stand defending their way of
