5.0 out of 5 stars No leap to have faith in this album!, December 3, 1999

I'm so sorry to see I'm the first one to review this soundtrack, because I guess that means not many people have heard it. It's basically a gospel album, done by some of the greatest singers of our age. It starts with Don Henley, goes into the Queen of Anything She Sings Patti LaBelle, morphs into an amazing song called "Change in My Life", passes through a beautiful song by Wynona Judd, rocks through a fantastic gospel medley, features Lyle Lovett sounding as good as he has ever sounded, goes on to another gospel medley (Delores Hall AND Patti LaBelle), lets you hear the great Albertina Walker with "Blessed Assurance" and finishes (incongruently) with Meatloaf's "Paradise By the Dashboard Light". If that last one was stuck on as a sales promo, it wasn't necessary -- the whole disk is testimony, it's passion and it's just damn great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gospel Soundtrack, April 7, 2003

This is a rare occasion that Hollywood would put out a movie with a great gospel soundtrack. If you haven't seen the film, you're missing out on a special treat. It's about a man who loses faith and finds it again. Hollywood has the ability to make good films, but they only come around once in a while. I believe that any old-fashioned Christian will really enjoy this soundtrack. It's the best fun you can have of this quality. It's quality comes from the talent of Cliff Eidelman who composes works for 'Alien Trilogy,' 'Free Willy 3,' 'Star Trek VI,' 'A Simple Twist of Fate,' and 'My Girl 2.'

'Change in My Life' sung by John Pagano, has been recorded by artists "Rockapella." You remember the Maxwell House guys from their album, 'Don't Tell Me You Do.' An uplifting song that will bring joy and hope to the broken hearted. It's soulful melody and smooth rhythms will rock you away to Heaven. Meat Loaf who stars in the movie and sings 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light.' Others to compliment the album are the talents of Don Henley (The Eagles), Patti LaBelle, in her best guest appearance and Wynnona Judd. Rounding it out is Jazz scene's own George Duke. And, Black Gospel's top lady Albertina Walker singing 'Blessed Assurance.' The most exciting of the film at the end when the rains come and the people are celebrating. It just puts the Holy Spirit all through you. Cliff Eidelman does a great job of putting this soundtrack together. You can check out more of his work in, 'Now and Then' and 'One True Thing.' If you like more of great gospel music done by top artists may I suggest 'The Apostle-[Sountrack]' from the film starring Robert Duvall. I just know you'll be changed after hearing this.

4.0 out of 5 stars You'll find your faith again....., December 9, 2004

The movie was outstanding, the soundtrack just as good. Steve Martin stars as a burned-out charlatan evangelist who comes to a town that hasn't had rain in a long time. Martin finds his own faith throught the course of the plot. You'll find yours just listening to the soundtrack. The CD opens up with Don Henley's "You better sit down" which surprisingly made the charts. Patti Labelle and Edwin Hawkin's "Are you ready for a Miracle" was probably the most stunning piece of the whole album, but all the music is upbeat and heartening. One minus was the instrumental music was not included.
