The small print on the cover of the CD says it all "Music inspired by the 6-week television event." I loved the series, bought the DVD, and wanted just the music to listen to ... but this isn't it. Calling it the soundtrack and packaging it with imagery from "Into the West" is deceiving. How many musical tracks from the film were accompanied with lyrics? Every song on this CD is. The one star rating is because of my disappointment in what I was hoping to receive and not necessarily a reflection of the work included on it. I don't recall any of these "sing-along-songs" as being part of the telecast though I can't count the number of times I watched the episodes.

Very disappointed. As with the other reviewer, I to not only watched the series, but was an extra on several episodes during the filming here in NM. Although the CD was "inspired by the series" (and after listening to the songs, I think not), I was very disappointed and this cd should be placed in $1.00 CD bin at the music store. Wonder where the original music from the series is? It is certainly not on this CD. VERY MISLEADING.

I wanted the exquisite orchestral musical themes I heard during the mini-series, but what I got sent is a bunch of boring pop or country-western songs, not a single one either memorable--or used in the soundtrack of the film.

Unless you like boring pop/country stuff, save your money. I sure wish someone had warned me.

The movie would have been a lot better had it used these songs. Even though Amazon calls it a soundtrack, nowhere on the cover does the word soundtrack appear. The cover clearly states music inspired by...

The songs by Mindy Smith, Buddy Miller(with Emmylou Harris), Guy Clark, Gillian Welch and Ray LaMontagne are all great. CDs with native American flute music are not hard to find. Highly recommended.

THIS IS NOT the sound track from the movie. THe tiny print you cant read says 'Music Inspired by the movie Into the West. There is not a single song from the movie on here.

I have an extensive library of instrumental soundtracks. Some of the most beautiful compositions have come out of the period movies, such as this one. Why was there not a soundtrack done of THE soundtrack? The composer, Geoff Zanelli, was hired to score the Steven Speilberg miniseries. Where, oh, where can the REAL soundtrack be purchased?????
