5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent cd!, October 23, 2001

This review is from: Blow (2001 Film) (Audio CD)

"Blow" is an excellent 70's cd. I cannot stress how good this soundtrack is, it has songs that I haven't heard in years, like Manfred Mann's Earth Band's "Blinded by the light" and Marshall Tucker Band's "Can't you see". "Blow" is one of the best soundtracks of 2001. My favorite song is Manfred Mann's Earth Band's "Blinded by the light", and I'm glad New Line bought the right's to it because I hate it when a song is played on the trailer for the film and is not on the soundtrack or even the film itself. My second favorite is Marshall Tucker Band's "Can't you see", I think that song fits the movie perfectly, because George Jung married a woman who just wanted luxury and drove him crazy(not in the literal term). And Lynyrd Skynyrd's "That smell" also fits the movie perfectly, it's about a guy who's killing himself with drugs(cocaine) and alcohol. Other songs worth mentioning are The Rolling Stones' "Can't you hear me knocking", Link Wray's "Rumble", and KC and The Sunshine Band's "Keep it comin' love"(you may recognize it on recent Old Navy commercials), which are all equally good. Bob Dylan's "All the tired horses" is good even though it has only 16 lyrics for a 3:09 minute long song.

I recomend getting "Blow" if you are a fan of the movie or if you enjoy 70's music like myself. Also, the cd itself has no title on it, just some white powder(which is supposed to be cocaine, which was pretty original), so don't think they sent you a blank disc. "Blow" is a solid buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Blow" Your Mind, April 6, 2001

By 

John Vilsack (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blow (2001 Film) (Audio CD)

This compilation is packed with all of those songs you always loved, but never remembered to acquire. Mann's Earth Band "Blinded by the Light", Ram Jam's "Black Betty", Skynyrd's "That Smell" are just some of the highlight tracks that appeared in a time when music creativity was at it's peak and these classics became buried by obscurity. The one detraction I've heard has been the lacking Stereo MC's track, "Connected" from the trailers/teasers. The tale of George Jung is a period piece, and "Connected" is a song that does not fit into the period the movie is a part of. Nevertheless, this is a valuable addition to any serious audiophile's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS DISC IS HOT!, April 6, 2001

This review is from: Blow (2001 Film) (Audio CD)

This disc takes you right back to the wild and excessive 70's, which given the current state of music, is a good thing. Awesome tunes, everything form the Stones to Manfred Mann to good old Ram Jam (Whoa Black Betty). A nice and diverse assortment of tunes. It's an odd mix at times (the Stones and KC & The Sunshine Band???), but that just adds to its appeal. Also, these songs have never sounded better - great remastering job. Buy the book, which was great, see the film, which was just as good, and BUY THIS DISC! A must have.
