Not what your looking for..., June 21, 2000
This review is from: Doc Hollywood: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
Do not buy this CD if you are looking for the song "One and Only" which is played at the beginning. If you want that song, it is by Chesney Hawkes and is called "One and Only".

A waste., December 28, 1999
This review is from: Doc Hollywood: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This is one soundtrack to NOT buy. It leaves out almost all the songs that were in the movie including the best one: "I Am The One And Only." The only song that's from the movie is "Crazy" and it was only in the movie for five seconds! In my opinion Warner Brothers needs to take this CD and remake the whole thing.

Fun soundtrack!, August 8, 2005
This review is from: Doc Hollywood: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This is a great score, which simply makes for very pleasant listening. Burwell adapts part of Prokofiev's Lt Kije Suite nicely for a couple of tracks, but mostly creates original light-hearted music which captures so well the spirit of Doc Hollywood, a sort of modern day Frank Capra movie.
I get so tired of so called soundtracks that are nothing more than a collection of songs that happened to be played in the background of a movie, rather than the incidental music composed specifically for the movie. That being said, I am glad that "Crazy" by Patsy Cline was used, but was disappointed that "I Am the One and Only" was omitted.
If you like the mood set in the movie, I recommend this soundtrack.
