[SOUNDTRACK] - Various Artists - Soundtracks - Song Collections |

| Audio CD (April 7, 1998); Number of Discs: 1
All too often, event-movie soundtracks turn out to be little more than a chance for a label to repackage its catalog material in an emperor's-new-clothes fashion. But this carefully constructed collection of Western-tinged tracks--inspired by but not all taken from the film--never approaches that territory. The album is suffused by a high-lonesome feel, characterized by contributions from such artists as Dwight Yoakam and Lucinda Williams (whose "Still I Long for Your Kiss" is a piquant highlight). Folk aficionados will also revel in the presence of the reunited Flatlanders (Butch Hancock, Joe Ely, and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, who originally performed together in the early 1970s), who turn in a sultry "South Wind of Summer." --David Sprague

Various Artists - Soundtracks - Song Collections
| Audio CD (May 19, 1998); Number of Discs: 1
Though it follows a standard movie formula and predictable plot twists, the film Hope Floats is saved in part by the above-average performance of Sandra Bullock, portraying a separated woman who finds her way back to her hometown in Texas, daughter in tow. The soundtrack seems to follow in due course, a collection of country and rock (thanks to the Rolling Stones) acts adding shades of twang to songs that, for the most part, all sound fairly familiar. The duds of the bunch, Bryan Adams's "When You Love Someone" and Sheryl Crow's "In Need," are saved in large part by some surprise keepers, courtesy of Garth Brooks, the Mavericks, and Gillian Welch. The covers are interesting enough. Brooks's take on Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love" is modest and pithy and a far cry from the overblown Trisha Yearwood performance of the same tune that codas the collection. --Jason Verlinde

Various Artists - Soundtracks - Song Collections, Steven Seagal
| Audio CD (September 9, 1997); Number of Discs: 1
Steven Seagal proves that he's man of many talents. He writes and co-produces five of the 12 tracks, and plays guitar on two. Famous friends cushion the blow: Travis Tritt, Randy Travis, Taj Mahal, Levon Helm and others. |
Various Artists - Soundtracks - Song Collections, Bill Conti
| Audio CD (January 18, 1994); Number of Discs: 1
A collection of 12 sensational country songs from the well-known and respected country artists which help illustrate the saga of a young and avid bronco rider, whose goal in life is to stay on the eight seconds it takes to qualify at the rodeo. |
Various Artists - Country - Contemporary, Randy Newman
| Audio CD (May 17, 1994); Number of Discs: 1
The spirit of the Wild West lives on this soundtrack. Maverick brings together some of the biggest and best names in modern country. This soundtrack does a better job than most, with a group of established veterans and fresh up-and-comers performing new songs written for or old songs chosen for this film. |
[SOUNDTRACK] Various Artists - Soundtracks - 1993
| Audio CD (September 21, 1993); Number of Discs: 1
Great for even non-country music fans! Romance and great tunes go hand-in-hand on these 12 tracks. This soundtrack captures the essence of the movie. |
| Audio CD (September 15, 1992)
Number of Discs: 1 George Strait made his silver screen debut in this honky-tonk movie. George Strait takes Texan honky-tonk and masculine ballads of romantic regret, and delivers impeccably. He may wear his heart deep inside those famously well-pressed cowboy shirts, rather than on his sleeve, but you can hear it beating all the same. |
