After working at a movie theater for two years, I have seen many movies and their soundtracks come and go. Coyote Ugly is one that will be around for a while. It brings together so many different types of music in one collaboration. I'm not a big fan of Leann Rimes, but I absolutely love Can't Fight the Moonlight and The Right Kind of Wrong. These are two really great songs. Then you add classic songs from Don Henley, EMF, Snap, and INXS and it makes the album even better. What really makes the album is The Devil Went Down To Georgia by the Charlie Daniels Band. This is a song that everyone likes. I highly reccomend this soundtrack to everyone. The music from a movie can either make it or break it. Most of my CD collection is soundtracks, and every one of them has a certain song that brings back a memory from that movie. This soundtrack is one of those that will keep the movie alive. While listening to this, it makes me want to get up on the table and dance. BUY IT TODAY!

When I bought the soundtrack to Coyote Ugly, I wasn't buying it for the music, I was buying it because of the movie it came from. But when I put the disc into my player, I heard the most awesome sounds that I've heard in a long time!

The 1st four track are by LeAnn Rimes. The 1st song is a music enchantment. I think that it is a sure hit! The next 3 songs aren't as wonderful, but they're still pretty darn good!

The 5th song is the Don Henley hit " All she wants to do it dance." The song may seem out of place, but it has always been one of my favorite songs, so having on this CD didn't bother me a bit. The song actually adds flavor!

If Don Henley didn't take you back a decade, then maybe EMF will. " Unbelievable" is the kind of song to make you want to get up and dance!

Just when you fear that the early 90's dance music has ended, track 7 cranks up the beat with " Power" by Snap. By this point in the CD, you are already glad that you've bought it!

" Need You Tonight" by INXS continues the early dance groove. Once again, another early 90's classic that will take you back to your neon shoelaces.

Now there's a break in the musical style. " The Devil Went Down To Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band. Is there a person alive that doesn't love this song? This song made me wanna dance more than any of the other songs on the soundtrack. This song quickly became my favorite track on the entire CD.

When you hear the next track " Boom Boom Boom" by Rare Blend, you know that " The Devil Went Down to Georgia" was clearly the climax of the CD.

The last two tracks on the album are ok, but they don't compare to the others.

Overall, I think that Coyote Ugly is a really awesome CD. I actually didn't skip through any of the tracks. But hey, don't take my opinion for it, go out and buy it yourself!

Although this CD does have a few good highlights, such as LeAnn Rimes' Can't Fight the Moonlight, The Right Kind of Wrong, But I Do Love you, as well as EMF's Unbelievable featured throughout the entire film, it is missing great songs seen in the film. I picked this CD up in Target a few months back and was surprised AND disappointed to see that Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard, I Will Survive, and Blondie's One Way or Another were not included in the mix. These were important, stand out songs in the movie and I'm not quite sure as to how one could forget to add these. Other than that, the CD is ok, not much to recommend. If you were looking to buy it, my advice would be to download the LeAnn Rimes songs and Unbelievable, and the always lovable 'Devil Went Down To Georgia.' Save your money and wait till a better soundtrack comes around.

I was very excited to find this cd, but disappointed when I saw what was and wasn't on it. Several of the songs featured in the movie such as Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leopard, One Way or Another by Blondie, Cowboy by Kidrock, and I Will Survive by Cake were not featured on this soundtrack. Those songs were vital to the movie and I found that the absence of them on the soundtrack made it difficult to keep the tone of the soundtrack consistent with the tone of the movie. The soundtrack was rather blah, with the exception of the Leann Rhimes songs, EMF, INXS, Don Henley, and the Charlie Daniels Band. My recommendation would be to download the actual soundtrack songs that you like off of napster, and mix them with the other songs that aren't on the original soundtrack, and burn your own cd.

Diane Warren may hold the record for writing the most songs for movie soundtracks. It would take days to name all of the soundtracks her music is featured on. The latest one is Coyote Ugly, a movie about a young girl who, while trying to achieve her goal as a songwriter, she ends up working for a sexy night club were anything goes. Diane writes four songs on the soundtrack all sung by Leann Rimes. Of course, this isn't the first time these two have worked together, as the scored the longest running single in the history of the billboard charts with "How Do I Live." Now their trying to score another big hit, and after hearing the four songs, I'm convinced that they can. In fact I believe that this maybe some of Warren's most polished work ever starting with the first single "Can't Fight the Moonlight." The song has a very fresh, current sound that should fit nicely with the pop wave radio has been riding lately. What really caught me about this song is the imagery behind the lyrics and how it fits so well with the Trevor Horn's dynamic production of the music. They just flow so well. Leann sings this song like a pop artist singing a pop song instead of a country artist singing a pop song. I really like the way this song was arranged as it allows Leann to deliver the most creative and inventive performance I have ever heard her give. The magic continues on my favorite song "The Right Kind of Wrong." Indeed if I would have heard this song without knowing Warren wrote it, I would have never guess she did. The song has an overall pop felling to it, with an edge to it that Leann takes to the next level. The lyrics on this song are amazing, powerful in the sense that Leann sings this song like she means it. The song is produced well, as Trevor Horn gives the song a bit of a rock flavor to it, which makes it that much more appealing to listen to. The two Warren-penned ballads on the soundtrack are equally potent. "Please Remember," is a desperate cry from one lover telling the one she loves to never forget the times they spent together. Leann sings this song with grace and style, bring out the emotional weight of the lyric in her voice. Once again the production is right on the mark, with a beautiful piano leading off the song, and then a soaring string arrangement that leads to the climax of the song which is powerful, yet not to the point where the song gets to over-bearing to listen to. The other ballad "But I Do Love You" is playful in nature with lyrics like "I don't like when the rain falls on my shoe, but I do love you." It's one of the ballads that doesn't require the grand instruments or powerful vocals to get the message of the song across. It simply relies on the clever lyrics and a very laid back performance by Rimes who sings this song very well. Besides these amazing Diane Warren-Leann Rimes collaborations there are some old dance hits including one of my all time favorites "Need You Tonight" by Inxs and other hits from Snap, EMF and Don Henley. However it's truly the Rimes-Warren show on this album. These four songs are perhaps the best songs ever written for a movie. If radio chooses to ignore anyone of them in favor of some of the filth that fills the airwaves today (you all know what I'm talking about) then these are truly sad days in the music industry.

This Cd misses some of the big hits that were played in the movie(which was great). Although it comes through with some great past dance tracks like EMF's "unbeliveable" and LeeAnn Rimes songs were pretty good Too, But leaving out songs like "Pour some sugar on me" and "It takes Too" I could only give this Cd 3 Stars.

I bought this CD because the music made the movie fun to watch. I was blown away by the first four songs!! LeAnne Rimes does a great job, and what a voice. It makes you wonder why she ever did country in the first place.

I was disappointed to discover the omission of Blondie's "One way or another" from this album. One would think that because the song played an important role in one scene, not to mention the fact that I came out of the theater with it stuck in my head, that it would have been included. Were it not for this, I would have rated this album with 5 stars.

Coyote Ugly was a great movie with really great music, and the soundtrack captures all those memorable moments. Well, almost. The absence of Kid Rock's "Cowboy" and Blondie's "One Way Or Another" kind of disappointed me, as did the four new Leann Rimes songs. Don't get me wrong, "Can't Fight The Moonlight" is a wonderful song, but the other three sound like a lot of mainstream rehashed pop. However the rest of the soundtrack makes up for it, with a lot of early 90's songs that were fun to listen to again. Worth a buy!

Coyote Ugly from Curb/Atlantic Records is a strong album consisting of every type of music from pop to dance to country. LeAnn Rimes contributes 4 new Dianne Warren songs to the compilation(She wrote "How Do I Live", "Unbreak my heart" and "Have you ever")! They are not only great pop/rock songs but could appeal to anyone from age 5-80. The cd also contains great classics from INXS,Snap,Don Henley,and EMF with their hit smash "Unbelievable"....this soundtrack is one to remember when shopping for an interesting music journey.

This CD is good, but given the amount of awesome music in the movie, they could have made an effort to have the CD be all-inclusive. A pivotal point of the movie in which Violet sings "One Way or Another" should have made this song a top priority. Others in the movie but left off the soundtrack include:

DEF LEPPARD- Pour some sugar on me BILLY IDOL - Rebel yell STRAY CATS - Rock this town LENNY KRAVITZ - Fly away UNCLE CRACKER - Follow me KID ROCK - Cowboy

As I said, the songs they did included are great, but when watching a movie and hearing the awesome songs, one expects them ALL to be a part of the soundtrack.
