Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Director Cameron Crowe is known for paying very close attention to the soundtracks to his movies. For Elizabethtown, in which he revisits his Kentucky roots, Crowe has put together a low-key album full of gently moaning pedal-steel guitars, fretful mandolins, and men in full sensitive-balladeer mode. Whereas Almost Famous reached for the hedonistic 1970s, Elizabethtown tries to evoke a timelessly rootsy vibe through artists new (Ryan Adams, Wheat) and classic (Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham) alike. Petty, Buckingham, and Kentucky natives My Morning Jacket all contribute new tracks, while Crowe and film scorer Nancy Wilson wrote the theme song, "Same in Any Language," for I Nine to perform. But once again, it's Elton John who pulls the chestnuts from the fire. Just as his "Tiny Dancer" was the clear highlight of the Almost Famous soundtrack, an old Elton epic overshadows the rest of the Elizabethtown lineup. Culled from Sir Elton's 1971 album Tumbleweed Connection, "My Father's Gun" is the kind of superb fake-roots song that paradoxically makes the others contributors sound arch. Go figure. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Product Description
"'Elizabethtown' is probably even more of a musical than 'Almost Famous.' The music is as important as any of the characters--it's the movie's inner voice, a friendly guide and a secret muse."--CAMERON CROWE

Acclaimed writer-director Cameron Crowe hand-picked the songs for the "Elizabethtown" soundtrack, which features trailblazing young artists like My Morning Jacket and Ryan Adams as well as Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Elton John and Tom Petty, to name a few. Crowe set out to achieve a true synthesis of sound and vision with the "Elizabethtown" soundtrack and the result plays like a dream road trip. "Hopefully," Crowe enthuses, "like some of my very favorite movies, from 'Harold and Maude' to 'Shampoo' and 'The Royal Tennenbaums,' the music [featured in 'Elizabethtown'] is forever married to the images and the people we come to know so well in those two wondrous hours spent watching in the dark."

A love letter to the resilience of the life force, "Elizabethtown" is a story of an unexpected romance that develops against the backdrop of a Kentucky patriarch's hilariously elaborate memorial. The film stars Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Judy Greer, Bruce McGill, Jessica Biel, and Paul Schneider.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't play this in your PC!, November 4, 2005
Sony's copy protection scheme installs harmful rootkit software on Windows machines. This software can crash your machine, and make it easier for viruses to infect you. By design, it is impossible to uninstall without advanced technical skills.

Sony recently released a patch to mitigate these concerns. However, the patch only addresses the issue of potential virus infection. Uninstalling the software is still nearly impossible, and if attempted incorrectly can render your CD drive unusable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sony's Rootkit, November 10, 2005
A Kid's Review
This CD WILL install a rootkit on Windows machines. If you intend to play this on your computer, then you're going to screw up your own PC. Sony will install files on your PC without your permission, files that can't be removed easily. You'll wish you listened to us if you buy this CD. Don't think we're telling the truth, go to

3.0 out of 5 stars Oh, Come On!!!, November 28, 2005
I was so looking forward to the release of this soundtrack. How dissappointing! Good music - BAD technology. I will NOT be purchasing this title until a version is released with copying capabilities. How ridiculous is it, not to be able to play a CD off of your own hard drive!?! 5 stars for the music, but I can't actually rate the product that highly if I can't even play it when and where I want to. I would rather do without Sony CDs, than pay $$ for such an unusable product. Yes, I know I could just use a regular CD player, but that's not the point - and it's not always convenient either.

If we buy the MP3 downloadable album of individual songs instead of the actual physical CD, do we then avoid SONY's malware? Thanks for any help!
