The Contender movie had some great musical pieces with a broad number of instruments. The soundtrack is all piano arrangements with some strings, not what was played in the movie. The producers of this CD really missed the boat on this one. The DVD has better music from the movie than the soundtrack CD. The composer Larry Groupe is talented and I look forward to hearing more of his work. The CD soundtrack should be withdrawn and reissued with the music that was played in the movie as it was played in the movie.

I love the song the movie opens with. Why is it not included on the soundtrack?

These are both excellent films and excellent scores. Thank god the ring of fire song was not included. This Cd is pure score. A soundtrack Cd is for the songs in a movie. A score CD by design does not contain any of the pop songs. The two scores show a deep command of the political musical genre. An excellent double header. The Contender score does contain more than piano selections, if your copy does not then someone switched out the CD.

This is a great movie with an excellent soundtrack. After six years of searching I still cannot find the Carnes / Bridges duet anywhere. I would have purchased the soundtrack if "Ring of Fire" was included, as I'm sure many would have. My one star is for that reason alone. The movie however is a five star at least.

and it was performed by Jeff Bridges and Kim Carnes. I have looked EVERYWHERE for this song but can't locate it anywhere. I don't believe it's in print. It's a shame because in my opinion, it was the best version of Ring of Fire I've ever heard. Shame on the producers for not including it in the soundtrack.

The opening song is "Ring of Fire" made popular in the early 60's by Johnny Cash. The movie version, according to the end credits, is a duet by Kim Carnes and Jeff Bridges. Sorry it not on the sound track. Can it be found anywhere but on the DVD/video? I've not found it on any Kim Carnes CD. Haven't heard this CD; the one star is because it omits the best music in the movie. What were they thinking!

I've searched and searched trying to find the performer of the opening song from the movie. I believe it is a Cash remake "Ring of Fire." I enjoyed the movie The Contender and thought the soundtrack would include the opening piece. Can anyone tell me who that is?
