5.0 out of 5 stars DEAR MUSIC APPRECIATORS November 30, 2011

By Andrew H. Lee

Format:Audio CD

Dear Music Appreciators,

More highly rated than hits like THE SHIELD, NIP/TUCK, and RESCUE ME, SONS OF ANARCHY is a popular television show on FX about an outlaw motorcycle club, but you don't have to be a fan of the show or an outlaw biker to enjoy this album, though I'm sure it wouldn't hurt if you were either one of those things.

This release is notable for combining music from each of three previous iTunes only EPs into one album. If you're new to SONS OF ANARCHY then keep in mind each of these tracks was recorded for the show and the familiar songs are all cover versions. Good cover versions. But some are not straight covers - the Spanish version of Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin' for example...

If you love rock music (both slow and fast) and you don't mind hearing a talented actress and musicians (such as Curtis Stigers, Anvil, or Alison Mosshart) join together to bring some California biker flavored feeling to classics from the likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, CCR, The Who, and The Stones, then you should give this one a try.

Sincerely,

Constant Listener

3.0 out of 5 stars WANTED MORE December 7, 2011

By fried122

Format:MP3 Music

I am sure it was hard to pick which songs would make the CD after 4 seasons. I like it but I feel it could have been better. I really wanted to hear No Milk Today & Coal War by The Forest Rangers and Mary by Patty Griffin. Maybe we can hope for a Volume 2. You do not have to be a fan of the show to enjoy the music.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will get me through the "off season" December 5, 2011

Love this soundtrack! Thank you Kurt Sutter for giving us something to get us through until Season 5. Like another reviewer I wish "Mary" would have been included. Every time I hear that song I am reminded of Gemma's story and tears well up in my eyes. This show is by far the best show on television and this CD is going to all of my family members for Christmas who love SOA. LOVE "John the Revelator" and "Hey Hey, My My." When can we get another one? Rock on Kurt and keep up the brilliant writing!
