JC and the BBB did an "excellent" job recording this album... A style of Rock n'Roll that is captured from the "Soul".... A style not many Bands are doing now a days...,, Not only does "Eddie" live (in the movie),, but the "Music" lives thanks to John Cafferty... A "must have" for your collection!

If you like good rock and roll you'll love this soundtrack. Eddie and the Cruisers 2 Eddie Lives is excellent. John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band do the music it's a shame they did'nt release more. By the way the movie is also fantastic.

I love the music on Eddie 2 more than the original soundtrack (I can hear the gasps of shock). The 2 heartfelt songs 'Just A Moment In Time' and 'NYC Song' rival the beautiful 'Tender Years' from first album. But songs like 'Garden Of Eden' (my favorite song) and 'Running Through The Fire' just ooze out of the stereo speakers. It's wonderful.

This is no poor man's Sprinsteen,far from that, John Cafferty&the Beaver Brown Band created a classic rock album that is really convincing.What makes this soundtrack so great is the fact that it goes so well with the film-this cannot be easily said about a lot of similar endeavors from recent times.It is not exaggerate to say that Cafferty and Co.show genius in understanding and beautifully capturing the spirit of rock'n'roll.As for the unbelievers it's...just a matter of time.

I can't even remember a time when I DIDN'T know all the words to every song on the Eddie & the Cruisers movie soundtracks! This CD in particular is the most wonderful compilation of rock'n'roll and amazing talent. You can't help but love every song on the album! The point is that this soundtrack is CLASSIC! Even though this movie came out in the late 80's, these songs are just as good today, and they really capture the incredible fever and passion of an artist that the world just wasn't ready to handle. I've ceased to believe that Eddie Wilson never lived because to me John Cafferty IS Eddie and the
Beaver Band his "Cruisers." This CD is worth every cent!

My husband and I would like to know why John Cafferty and his band never topped the charts. They are great. I recently found the movie Eddie & The Cruisers Eddie Lives again and I already had the C.D. What happened to the band????

I finally found the VHS Eddie & the Cruisers II again. The cd and the movie are fantastic. The "Boss" could take lessons from John Cafferty. He has a awesome voice and I never even listen to that kind of music. I was drawn to it. Where are they? And why didn't they record more albums? No way do they have to live up to the "Boss"

In between Eddie and Eddie II, I had the privilege of seeing John Cafferty and BBB perform live. If they hadn't cast Pare they certainly could've used John. Not only is he an awesome stage presence, and real looker, he and the band make sure the words and music won't die. His brand of R&R is the stuff that my formative years recall. This is R&R of a different flavor, but believe me it ROCKS!!. Great songs, great soundtrack. Takes me back to my past. Eddie & The Cruisers orig and II have given this band the recognition they derserve. Listen to the music with your eyes closed and you'll see what I mean. A 5* disc good for an serious R&R buff like me. EDDIE LIVES!!!

If your looking for real rock n roll, you got it with this album! A style ofrock n roll you do not hereoften, but should! I only wish John C, and the Beaver brown band would make a lot more albums!
