I believe it is wise to see the film Honeydripper to appreciate this album.
But I get the idea that this music, and it is great music, gradually introduces us to real rock n roll of the fifties.
The guitar dominates the soundtrack, not alone but with voices added. I know, that sounds strange but the singers are not really needed. Sorry singers. It's the whole atmosphere of the album that makes me want to get up and dance, or should I say jive. Boy am I glad I was in my prime when Fats Domino, Ike Turner, Chuck Berry were also in their prime.
This album is for music history buffs, and an Oldy like me.

The soundtrack was very good. I only wish that more of it showed up in the film. The film featured maybe two full length songs that were very good and appear here on CD. From a musical perspective the movie was disappointing; buying this CD was better.

We had seen the movie and liked the music we heard. So, I got the soundtrack, even tho I know they are not always the same. Still, it was very disappointing, not at all what we had thought. Hoped for some good blues............

The cd arrived quickly and was just as quickly (in relative terms) unwrapped and inserted in my player. The selections were on point and, well, music to my ears. Faithful to the film, the recordings of the old blues styles make a fit addition to my collection. I recommend it to all true blues, folk and vintage R&B collectors. (There is even a track featuring Danny Glover.)Honeydripper

The songs are representative of the time period the movie takes place in. Solid, raw solo blues to faster, full band rocking. The song China Doll is worth the price of the CD, having heard so much of this music in the past I almost got sick of it but this song sounds very fresh and the saxaphone sounds raw and blaring like it should sound. Very slick! Thumbs up to this CD.

Excelent soundtrack !!! Lovely blues, rock, bluegrass.
As soon as I saw the film, I had to buy this album.

The delivery was delivered on time. However, the case is in real bad shape (he case is not just cracked, it's split in half and is falling apart.) and needs to be replaced.
