Great soundtrack!

You may not like all Cameron Crowe movies. As a matter of fact, I found Elizabethtown a bit dissapointing. But one thing you can't argue is that all of them carry an impeccable music selection, something that comes from Crowe's days as a write for Rolling Stone magazine. "Elizabethtown" was no exception to this, and aware of the fact, the movie saw two soundtrack volumes spinning off of it. I have found Volume 2 to be more solid than Volume 1 in general, with 15 tracks that have no waste. Topping the list are the tracks by Tom Petty, Kathleen Edwards and Ryan Adams. I give it five stars: great selections of classics and classics-to-be.

As with all his film soundtracks, even if you've never heard the songs or artist before, you're not going to be disappointed. This is the eclectic kind of collection that always leads you to seek out more songs by the artist involved.

I fell in love with the first elizabethtown soundtrack and then they came out with this one and it rocks! The songs and the bands are so good!!! This is one of the best cd's i have ever had in my life. The music on these are so good you can just hear them over and over!!

... so I totally have a soft spot for the movie and soundtracks. I just love the music from all of the soundtracks. Any southern folk/rock appreciater will like it . . . and definately any fan of Patty Griffin will love it. Moon River is great. And if you get a chance, watch the movie twice, trust me, it's the second time that really counts.

As with any road trip, one CD just ain't enough. Director Cameron Crowe often constructs music in his films as "cinematic radio stations," and the tunes in Elizabethtown have spilled onto a second disc. And a delightful one it is! The Southern rock mix features a roster divided between performers coming back (such as Ryan Adams, who scores high with the haunting "Words," specially written for the film) and those who are making their Elziabethtown soundtrack debut, such as Pinback and The Concretes.

This CD was considerably better than the first edition. It's still boring but it has a couple of good songs on it. I'm sorry I bought either CD.

Good soundtrack. Very good rendition of Moon River.Various tracks are interesting with less known artist and song except for Moon River.

Then this is the Elizabethtown CD choice you want to buy. I have four different Elizabethtown CDs but this is the one that best reflects the original soundtrack.

great tunes, some new some old, but all are out standing. I have vol 1 as well, must have for your collection
