5.0 out of 5 stars The soundtrack to "Crazy Heart" is excellent!, January 23, 2010

By	Kris King "Kristopher" (Malone, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crazy Heart: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Ltd. Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)

The soundtrack to "Crazy Heart" is excellent! This is one of the best soundtracks of last year. All of the tracks on here are excellent! Note: There are 2 different editions to this soundtrack, this review is on the deluxe edition, which has 6 or 7 more tracks than the regular edition and it is packaged in a digipak case. I personally think that is the deluxe edition is the better version of the soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Music, January 20, 2010

By	sandra b (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crazy Heart: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Ltd. Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)

This is a great album. It has a mix of classics and new. I love Fallin' & Flyin' and The Weary Kind. Hard to say which I like better.

I've loved Stephen Bruton's music for a long time and can feel his influence on this album... good music along with great lyrics.

My only wish: Although I know this is a movie soundtrack and I'm sure that's why the voices of the new songs sound like they're recorded in a live venue instead of a studio... kind of that hollow sound... not as clear as they might have been. I'd have liked if they had tuned the guitars back a bit and let the voices shine a bit more. This is no reflection on any of the voices. It's a small thing and I absolutely love the album!

Been waiting for it and I'm not disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars This soundtrack has good country music, January 19, 2010

By	Robert G Yokoyama (Mililani, Hawaii) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Crazy Heart: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Ltd. Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)

The Crazy Heart soundtrack features great country music. I love the theme song "Weary Heart" by Ryan Bingham. His guitar playing and vocals are beautiful and soothing. I didn't know that Jeff Bridges could sing country. There is no real country singer named Bad Blake, but I can believe that Jeff Bridges is a country singing star after listening to this song. This is a fun song. Another big shock is Colin Farrell. He sings the song "Gone Gone Gone" in his role as Tommy Sweet. This is an upbeat song that knocks my socks off. Jeff and Colin duet on the song "Fallin and Flyin". This is one of the highlights on the song. Lucinda Williams lends her talents with her song "Joy". She can play the guitar like few people can. There are two versions of the track "Somebody Else". I like the instrumental guitar playing by Stephen Bruton, and I love the version with vocals by Jeff Bridges. "I Let The Freight Train Carry Me On" is a light happy tune that puts me in a good mood. The Kitty Wells song "Searching For Someone Like You" is a very pretty song. I love the music and the movie Crazy Heart very much.
