Editorial Reviews

The soundtrack to the #1 NBC comedy features brand-new, never-before-released tracks from Matthew Sweet, Uncle Kracker, John Hiatt and rock newcomers Van Nuys, recorded exclusively for the soundtrack. In addition, the album includes some of Earl’s favorite songs used in episodes which aired during the premiere ’05-’06 season. The soundtrack also contains key sound bytes from the show, and an unheard vocal version of the "My Name Is Earl" theme song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a really great mix tape, December 8, 2006

This mix of old songs and re-recordings is darn entertaining, whether you're hanging around at home or on a road trip. The tie-in to the show almost doesn't matter -- it's just a really good, fun, stupid CD. Highly recommended.

When we first started watching "Earl", I thought it was just another mindless, low-class sit-com. I was truly wrong! When Earl realizes the impact of his bad life choices on himself and everyone he comes in contact with, he makes his list of wrongs and begins to right them. The little side stories are hilarious and touching as well. It's not a sit-com I would recommend for children, but it's worth a look-see. P.S. The music is wonderful! Oh, snap!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars If You Want to Get to Heaven, September 26, 2010

Probably not quite enough good country rock, such as the sensational song from the Joy jacks delivery truck and driver episode, Ozark Mountain Daredevils "If you want to Get to Heaven"
