2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, March 5, 2000

This review is from: The Story of Us (Audio CD)

I got this CD because I thought it would have the version of Classical Gas that was in this movie. I was really let down. The rest of the CD was ok, but it didn't have the song I thought it would. The version I was looking for had both Mason Williams on guitar, and other instruments in the background. This is not that song. This is just Mason by himself.

So here is a warning to anyone looking for the same song that was in both the preview and the movie: THIS IS NOT THE SONG YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED it. Others may not digest it so well however., June 4, 2000

Some people have really slammed this CD but I love it. Being a guitarist myself, I was hoping the soundtrack had the song snippets from the movie. And it does! If you're expecting radio formatted 3 to 5 minute singles, you'll be disappointed. But if you truly loved the simple, beautiful guitar arrangements Clapton did in the movie, you'll like this CD. The only other warning is there are only 3 different guitar arrangements repeated throughout the CD with subtle differences. I can see where this would turn a lot of people off. But I REALLY loved those 3 arrangements so I was happy to hear them repeated throughout the CD.

Fans of Eric Clapton's masterful guitar playing and stunning arrangements will consider this a must-have. The inclusion of Classical Gas is an extra-added bonus. The entire CD just made me happy.
