5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing Feat of Musical Magic and Mayhem,
This review is from: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (Audio CD)
I think everyone knows that John C Reilly can sing, but I didn't know that he could sing this good on the "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" soundtrack. While "Walk Hard" clearly is intended to poke fun at "Walk the Line" (the excellent film biography of Johnny Cash), Reilly sounds terrifically like Roy Orbison throughout this disc -- every track clearly poking fun at elements of fictional Dewey Cox's life. While several of the songs clearly are tied to comedic elements of the film ("Royal Jelly" sounding like a Bob Dylan parody; "Dear Mr President" hinting heavily at some 1960's-esque hippie activism; "Black Sheep" an obvious send-up of Beatlesque drug use; and the various songs dedicated to short people -- aka midgets in Dewey Cox-speak), I don't think much is necessarily lost by hearing them out of the film context; arguably, they'll only mean more once the listener can attach these images to these unmistakably Coxish lyrics!
My personal favorite tracks are "Walk Hard," "A Life Without You (Is No Life At All)," and the side-splittingly funny "Let's Duet," but there probably isn't really a wasted track on the entire disk. Again, some of the tunes are clearly tied to film bits (I can only imagine how "Darlene" pops up in the midst of Dewey's denial of being in love with Darlene to his first wife), but there's little lost here. The soundtrack is great, great fun, and I'm hoping that the film can deliver as many laughs.

Pay one more dollar, get the better version...,
By Cooter "Karl" (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (Audio CD)
By the better version, I mean the Deluxe Edition available on Itunes for just one dollar more. It has twice as many songs. It is definitley worth it, but if you have an mp3 player besides the ipod, you will have to burn them to cd and convert them.

A really great soundtrack for an extremelly funny movie,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (Audio CD)
The movie is very funny, but what makes it even better is that the music is genuinely great. I walked out of the screening singing a couple of these songs for the rest of the week. Buy this CD - you won't regret it.
