I hadn't listened to Mellencamp for years, but when I found this CD in a used bin I thought any record with songs by Dwight Yoakum and John Prine, not to mention a song where Yoakum, Prine, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and James McMurtry, not to mention Mellencamp, share vocals had to be worth seven bucks. And boy was it. Know next to nothing about the movie, but this collection of songs by some of the best singer/songwriters in contemporary alt-country/Americana is a gem. Starting with a gorgeous Nanci Griffith tune, followed by a Mellencamp penned rocker sung by Dwight Y., John Prine doing one of his own songs but backed by Mellencamp's band, a group I'd never heard of called Qkumbrz singing a beautifully aching ballad, not to mention a Janis Ian song, instrumentals by fiddler Lisa Germano, then of Mellencamp's band, and Johnny M. himself in fine voice (though alongside Dwight, John P., Joe E., Jimmie Dale, and McMurtry, his limitations as a singer stand out), and you have a great collection of performances and outstanding contemporary folk and country music. This is one of the best CDs I've heard all year.

I love this album. Don't scare me none is a good honest song. The movie is one of the worst I've ever seen. It's the reason JM hasn't done anything in the movies since.

I love this album, I love the movie clip soundbites and the story running through it. I have not seen the film but would like to if it is released in UK.

OK some of the songs are not dynamic, but there are some stand out tracks and it makes for a pleasant alternative session. John Mellancamp is excellent and Dwight is as usual superb but the way the soundtrack clips are included is the difference I like.
