Country star Tim McGraw not only furthers his promising acting career on this modern film update of Mary O'Hare's classic horse fable My Friend Flicka--he also brings his winning pop-music acumen to bear as executive producer of its contempo-country song-score. His previously unreleased ballad "My Little Girl" successfully evokes previous McGraw hits, and he's shrewdly woven it into a collection that echoes the story's themes via the sultry R&B-country fusion of Natasha Bedingfield's "Wild Horses"; a spare, haunting "Rodeo Road" by Holly Williams (granddaughter of Hank Sr.); and the quiet introspection of Gemma Hayes's opening "4:35 A.M." Becki Ryan's "Alive" and "The Things We Don't" by Watertown give the collection a welcome double-shot of country-pop effusiveness, and Donovan's vintage "Catch the Wind" seasons it with timeless folk charm, while McGraw turns his Dancehall Doctors touring band loose to tear up "The Fireman" with live roadhouse swagger. This is a collection that skillfully evokes both the story's gentle emotional soul and McGraw's own pop-savvy contemporary country instincts. --Jerry McCulley

4.0 out of 5 stars Dear Amazon..When will the whole Flicka (MP3) soundtrack be available for purchase?!, May 7, 2009

By	Spud_n_Yooper - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flicka (MP3 Download)

I finally watched this movie about 5 or so months ago; and really enjoyed most of the songs on it. However, even though Amazon has this MP3 soundtrack for $9.99 (and if you search "Flicka soundtrack" under "all departments", the songs appear individually for sale at 99 cents each)- I have found no "purchase" button ANYWHERE! ..Maybe I'm one of the few persons that don't use iTunes to purchase my MP3's (99.9% of my purchases have been on Amazon); but there you have it. I keep checking back on here in hopes this glitch has been fixed, but so far nothing... That's why I felt compelled to write this. As for the songs, I like all but two; and I would really like to purchase the MP3 album, or have the choice of buying the songs individually. I'm sure I speak for many (potential) customers when I say this. (Thanks in advance!!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, March 20, 2007

By	Harmony'sSake "~HS" (USA) - See all my reviews

I was hesitant about buying this cd because I had only her 2 songs from this cd fully. (My Little Girl and Wild Horses) From the movie, I was pretty sure that all of the songs would be slow and I normally despise slow songs.

However, I recieved this today along with 2 other cds. Though I thought I wouldn't care much for it, I absolutely love this cd. The songs are slow but they are amazing. I found myself wanting to listen to it over and over. If you've seen the movie and know what to expect, I recommend this soundtrack to anyone!
