Various Artists including Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Smithereens, and The Isley
Brothers. Various Genres. 1999.
Bluest Eyes

Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger and Queen Latifah. Show Tunes. 2003.
The
Queen lays it out in When You're Good to Mama. Don't miss Cell Block

montage featruing Catherine Zeta-Jones, set to All that Jazz.

Dayne and film-music staple, Thomas Newman (Wall-E, Little Women, Revolutionary

on the film punctuated with 60s-style rock and blues. Don't miss Barbeque Bess
by Patti LaBelle, What becomes of the Brokehearted by Paul Young and pop
favs from Jodeci.

Various Artists, anchored by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Indie/ pop. 2005.
Only eight tracks long with three from Maggie
Gyllenhaal, including a sultry cover of Billy Joel's Just the Way Are.
Calexico, Black Heart Procession and Greyboy fill out the album. A solid disk,
but some good tunes from the film are missing.
Incredibly True Aventures of Two Girls in Love
(Soundtrack)
Various Artists including Mos
Def, Big Joe Turner and J.J. Jackson. Blues (with some boogie-woogie and be-bop
rock). 2005.
Aptly caputires the period and the film. Last
three tracks seal the deal with T Bone Walker doing Party Girl, Blind Boys
of Alabama singing the gospel Faith and Grace, and Macy Grey and Robert
Bradley's duet, Down on Me.

Various
Artists, including Ry Cooder, Buffy Saint-Marie and Randy Newman. Rock. The 1970
soundtrack, digitally remastered in 2007.
This music is what you
would expect from a 1970s film starring Mick Jagger - bluesy rock. Jagger only
sings one track (a throw-away), but Ry Cooder is his solid self
on slide guitar. A must for Stones fans.
Prince
and The Revolution. R&B. 1984 (1990 re-issue).
An
oldie but an essential!Prince rocks his sexy androgenous
self
with classics likeLets Go Crazy, When Doves Cry
and the plaintaive title cut, Purple Rain. There is the riskque Darling
Nikki, and Wendy and Lisa's intro to Computer Blue, with thier ever
so creamy spoken tease. A sexy, hot CD.
