3.0 out of 5 stars Cookie's Fortune, March 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cookie's Fortune: Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I hadn't heard of Ruby Wilson before seeing this movie, but I loved her big bluesy voice instantly after her opening number. I bought this CD hoping to hear more of her. Sadly, only one song (I'm Comin' Home, track 11) showcased her. I'm glad to at least have that one song. I am a fan of Dave Stewart's other soundtrack effort "Lily Was Here" and I was hoping I'd enjoy "Cookie" equally. But I didn't care for the sampling of movie dialogue that contaminates "Cookie". If you're hoping for a blues soundtrack that you can play from beginning to end, the snippets of dialogue will annoy you. In that case, I'd recommend "Lily Was Here".

I have this soundtrack (which I have loved since seeing the film) on my iPod and am invariably thrilled when a tune from it pops up on my random play. No, it's not true delta blues or whatever others want it to be, expect it to be, etc. It is, however, wonderful inventive music from a true original, Dave Stewart. While you cant (unfortunately) sample the tune "I'm Coming Home", it is worth owning for this song alone. Listen to it late at night and see if you dont agree.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not what you may expect -- but surprisingly good!, April 27, 2000

This soundtrack is probably not what you're expecting. I was expecting the blues music you hear throughout the film. This cd is that music with dialogue snippets rhythmically interwoven as the "lyrics". At first, this bothered me, and I was disappointed in the album, but after a few listens, this is really an enjoyable cd. The rhythms found in the spoken words are really a treat and a nice way to emphasize the soul of language. Not what I was expecting, but I'm happy all the same!
