This review is from: Prefontaine: Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This soundtrack is the perfect followup to the movie. Both are great. I highly recommend listening to it before any race. Also "Munich Race" is the perfect track to sum up the life of the greatest runner of all time, Steve Prefontaine.

When i first bought this cd, i only got it because it had to do with steve prefontaine. After listening to it for the first time, i fell in love with it. Every runner should own this cd. Every song is great.

This review is from: Prefontaine: Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This soundtrack really sums up Steve Prefontaines whole attitude. It follows the cource of his life well with the struggles and the successes. I enjoy listening to the song "Munich Race" before races to get myself in the right mindset. The song tells the story of a 5000 meter race Pre ran while in Munich in the 1972 Olympics. The opening song,"Fortunate Son" shows Pre's maverick lifestyle and "Forever Young" at the end of the album tells of his tragic and unfortunate death as America's best distance runner.
