5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful film, fantastic soundtrack, glad others think likewise, July 1, 2005
The guitar pieces are great, Eric Clapton and the other artists who have created tracks especially for this, have done themselves proud. Very moody, bluesy, country, a melting pot of musical influences and emotions, very much like the film. I would recommend watching the film as well as playing this soundtrack - the music is a great backdrop to it.

Pretty Baby by JJ Hutto & The New Hawks is a fantastic tune, amongst the others.

My favourites though are the last two, Dixie and Homeboy. If you watch the film, Dixie is at the climax or focal point of the film, and once this is concluded, Homeboy quietly begins and gently rounds off the film in a beautiful way.

You might not like the film, guess it's not everyones cup of tea, but I think its a masterpiece and wonderfully crafted. Incidentally you will see credits on the film for "Eddie Cook". This is actually Mickey Rourke.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Fits The Movie Perfectly!, August 19, 1999
By A Customer
Eric Clapton's music fit the film scenes for Homeboy perfectly! The film is dark and moody, yet ends with hope - just like Clapton's particular compositions for certain key scenes. Rent the film and you'll fall in love with this CD even more so!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thinking Man's Boxing Film, January 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Homeboy [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I would rank "Homeboy" along with "Body & Soul" (starring John Garfield),"Rocky" (the first one), "Raging Bull" and "Peniteniary" as one of the best boxing films ever made. A very moody, dark film that is well acted and directed. Mickey Rourke is at the top of his game in this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent soundtrack from Clapton and Kamen.
This is a great CD! This collection of themes from the Mickey Rourke film "Homeboy" has no Clapton vocals, but some of his best film music work, in my opinion. Read more
