The songs for Dead Man Walking not only accompany the movie, they also haunt it. All the tracks are meaningful and well worth the listen but the highlights of the album are the tracks "The Face of Love" and "The Long Road" by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Eddie Vedder which alone are worth the purchase of the entire album. I remember some radio DJ saying that it was impossible to play "The Long Road" on radio because no dj could skillfully follow up a song that powerful with the usual radio airplay. Whether you've seen the movie or not, pick up this soundtrack. It's really a rare collection of superb music.

The Dead Man Walking Soundtrack is piled to the rafters with talent: Bruce Springsteen, Lyle Lovett, Michelle Shocked, Eddie Vedder (from Pearl Jam), etc...This album is so emotionally powerful at times that I will listen to some songs over and over (i.e. Ellis Unit One or Promises by Lyle Lovett). Johnny Cash's tune is one of the weaker songs on the album (I say this as a Johnny Cash fan). Cash covers Nick Cave's song "The Mercy Seat" on his Solitary Man album--a song about a man heading for the chair--which is worth checking out. Steve Earle has been involved in anti-death penelty work for years. For those of you interested, you can check out "Billy Austin" on the Hard Way and "Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song)" on transcendental blues. If you like Springsteen's title track, you will love his album Ghost of Tom Joad. The rest of the album is very strong. I applaud the decision of the "powers that be" that two albums were put out for this movie: this soundtrack, and the background score. Good music with a challenging message.

A collection of simple emotional songs, unforgettable for those who saw the movie, and also for those who did not. The two titles from Eddie Vedder & Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan are extraordinary.
