What can i say?This is a really sweet movie first of all that you should all watch at least once.The soundtrack is truely wonderful,everything on it is truely brilliant....but the songs that Evan Dando does are,by far the best-just brilliant.Evan does a great job on Gram Parsons "How Much I,ve Lied".I could go on.....but i won,t,do yourself a favour and buy yourself this laid back gem....you,ve be told!

3.0 out of 5 stars Many good songs, one excellent one., June 24, 2003

I can't comment on the movie, but the soundtrack has got some good stuff. Five tracks from "Thurston Moore" are all instrumentals, and nothing like his band "Sonic Youth". Three from "Evan Dando" are typical folky for him, and he covers his idol "Gram Parsons" on track 15. The rest is decent filler. In my opinion, the best song on here by far is "74-75" by "The Connells". That song is near alterna-pop perfection. I would find this used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another incredible GIFT from the universe, April 20, 2008

In my ever-so-humble opinion, the best stuff gets "gifted" to the universe and we get to stumble upon the magic ... Such is the case which can be made for this collection of songs created to accompany the movie "Heavy".
Now , warning, if you are the type of person that needs Amps:11 and bass-pulsing notice given to your head for stimulation, this batch of musical tea will set you to sleepin faster than a train-ride through a patch of Nebraska wild-field .. but if you ramble in a more subtle world where acoustic guitars and well-thought-through instrumental journeys tickle your ear-bone, then you couldn't get any luckier than this for a couple bucks.
(one exception is the Plimsouls, perhaps the "original" Replacements), But then we get Evan Lemonhead, the luckiest guitar-strumming folkie since Lefty Frizzel, a Freedy Johnston, a version of a Victoria Williams classic and those Thurston Moore soundscapes trapesing through the river. And my friend Tom would be baffled if I didn't mention it's probably the only place you can find Rosie Flores doing Butch Hancock's "BoxCars".
the best ones are "gifted" to the world.
