From start to finish this album is amazing. With the strength of Jesse Harris behind it, it is not just your average pile of random songs on a soundtrack. Many soundtracks have the feel of over packaging, not with The Hottest State. This is a soundtrack much like Once or Garden State. I cannot stop listening. Rocha is amazing. The Cat Power song is stunning. The Speed of Sound by Emmylous Harris--breathtaking. Bright Eyes adds an amazing piece as well. It does not disappoint once.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this album, but after listening to it a couple of times I really enjoy it. There are two songs I've removed from my iPod, but the rest of the album flows very nicely together.

I heard about this CD on NPR and decided to buy it on a whim. To me, it is something perfect for a lazy Sunday morning or a gentle rainy day. Very pretty music. I am a fan of Feist, M. Ward and Cat Power but now I think I am a fan of Jesse Harris. Good work.

I just got this today, and have already listened to most of it. I'm happy I heard about Jesse Harris on NPR - this is going to be a favorite.

i think this is one of the most stunning soundtrack in my collection. all songs are beautiful - i love rocha's voice. i can imagine driving at night alone with this CD playing.
