Music for Real People, February 15, 2002
This review is from: Straight Talk (1992 Film) (Audio CD)
STRAIGHT TALK is a soundtrack of material, all by Dolly Parton, from the movie which stars Dolly. The soundtrack, from 1992, features some excellent songs in a long line of excellent music from Dolly. Take the reworking of her 1970's song "Light of a Clear Blue Morning", the original is more gospel like and very downtempo, whereas this one is an inspirational, uplifting, uptempo version of the song, which brings a smile to my face. The songs work with the movie, from the workers anthem of "Dirty Job", to the quirky "Straight Talk" which shows her fun personality, to the honest "Living A Lie", and more. Its more than just a soundtrack for a movie, its a soundtrack for life. A lot of people (myself included) could find something to relate to in these honest, simple songs about life and loss. Its also an excellent movie, and worth seeing. If that's what it takes to convince you to listen to this soundtrack, then go see it, because this music is excellent.

I have been looking for that remake of the song "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" for ages!!!! Dolly is the best female artist in my book, with Reba MeEntire a close second.

I love the Soundtrack!, November 14, 2003
This review is from: Straight Talk (1992 Film) (Audio CD)
Dolly's soundtrack to her movie is really good... I have a copy and so does my mom... Burning to Burn and and Livin' A lie are GREAT songs! I bet there are some people out there in dead end jobs, or relationships... They sacrificed everything to keep up appearances.. She sings about the pain that Shirlee was going through... Straight Talk is a great song! I remember when she sang that on a Bob Hope Special at Amera Flora 92. Great song full of attitude and spunk! She cuts through the BS and straight to the point. Light of a clear blue morning is an uplifting song.. No matter how bad things get, everything will be OK... This is a great album for those with an open mind.... I like it and I hope that you will to.
