5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic CD, September 6, 2007

I play this CD VERY often and have not tired of it yet. Don Was with a Jazz record? I questioned this also and after I was surprised by the complete lack of "Beatles" reference in all the songs...I began to embrace it for what it was: A very well done Jazz CD. Highly recommened.
The movie was very good too.

4.0 out of 5 stars The first song on this record is absolutely wicked, September 1, 2011

The film Backbeat included some very, very good music. The cover of (I'm a) roadrunner on the "rock album" is absolutely first-rate. This CD is also very good and particularly notable because these are all originals. The first song is a very unique jazz tune to a more "rockish" shuffle beat. Great background music. Totally unique. As someone else has suggested, their were some other good songs in the movie which did not make it onto either disk.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5-STAR CD, Don Was is brilliant!, October 9, 2010

Atmospheric jazz, very well recorded, I picked a copy of this up new years ago in Japan + it's had a lot of play since. I believe Don Was won a music industry award for this soundtrack
