Crazy Heart: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Ltd. Deluxe Edition)

71 reviews
Various Artists

New West Records, 2010

Great Soundtrack!
Very good CD. The Jeff Bridges tracks are especially good. I had already seen the movie, so I knew what to expect and was not disappointed. This is a great collection of old and new Country songs, with a little Blues and Rock mixed in. Can't stop lisenting to it!

Disintegration (Deluxe Edition) (3CD)

The Cure

Rhino Records, 2010

Submerged Gloop
Life has a rational surface, below which is the infinite gloop. The Cure have made pop songs that are fun as can be (and others that irritate as much as any radio-friendly hit), but Robert Smith was in direct talks with the gloop for a time. The result was 1989's Disintegration. Previous attempts at a masterpiece were merely attempts. Subsequent albums, so far at least, have been mostly ...

"So it's not "South Pacific", "My Fair Lady", "Gypsy" or "Sweeney Todd", but still..."
My wife and I took our 20-year-old niece to the Saturday matinee performance on June 5 of "Promises, Promises". It was her first ever Broadway show, and she was slightly starry eyed and stage-struck during and after the performance and why not? This show is a good introduction to the world of Broadway musicals for teenagers and young adults. All the elements work starting with a very ...

The Beatles Stereo Box Set
Even though I already had some of the earlier Beatles CDs, I have been saving money to buy the complete set with updated audio. I am extremely pleased with this purchase. Amazon had a great price, and I felt confident that I would receive a new and authorized version.

Chop Shop/Atlantic, 2010

Perfect fit
This soundtrack is enjoyable to listen to, containing a wide range of selections, mostly indie and all original in sound and content. Each song is unique in its quality, yet they compliment each other. Additionally, for fans of the movies, the music fits seamlessly with the film.

Exile on Main Street

Rolling Stones

Umvd Labels, 2010

Best Album Ever Recorded
As originally released, Exile on Main Street is the best album ever. The outtakes and alternative tracks included here-in are not up to the standard of the original 18 tracks, with only Plunder My Soul worthy of inclusion. The second disc, with the unreleased songs and versions, is interesting, but not indispensable. Disc one is simply the best rock and roll music ever recorded.

A really awesome Cd (BB smiles.)
Cd came in excellent shape, still wrapped, security stupid tape, a big pain in the Butt. Not the fault of seller, Manufacture. Wish they would think of a dif way to seal the Cd's cause even though our Cd's are protected, they ruin the nice brand new Cd case. Can even scratch the case, What a pain, when it refuses to come away in one strip. Anyway back to the Recording. Clean Cd. And original ...

Sinatra/Jobim: The Complete Reprise Recordings

Frank Sinatra, Antonio Carlos Jobim

Concord Records, 2010

"Sinatra/Jobim" is much more Jobim
I have always liked Bossa Nova - my first Jazz CD was "Getz/Gilberto". Most of these songs I am familiar with on the original Portuguese, I've heard them that way for decades. A few of Jobim's songs were translated over the years, but not that many. Portuguese is a wonderfully mellifluous language, someone could read the phone book in Portuguese and it would sound good. Other than the Getz Bossa ...

EMI, 2009

I finally understand Revolution 9
This CD, sans the last four songs on disc 1, syncs perfectly with the Disney animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Revolution 9 begins when the witch presents the poison apple, her impending death and the revival of SW. You have to see this to believe it. It's absolutely brilliant, and Helter Skelter is hilarious! Cahlk up another first for one of the most innovative bands to ever ...

As a HUGE Green Day fan I was honestly skeptical about this recording, but man...was I wrong. The cast performed beautifully on the soundtrack...every song sounds amazing. I'd love to see the broadway show sometime! (Maybe they'll release it on DVD) :)

This a great sound track!
This is a must for all audiophiles. It covers the classics as well as the latest in Country thanks to Ryan Bingham and T.Bone Burnett.

The best...
This is the third time I've purchased this album; once, in the 70s in vinyl (I was but a 10 year old when this was first released, so didn't buy it until a few years later). Then, again as a CD in the late 80s. As far as I was concerned, it was always a great album. But then, someone stole all the CDs out of my car a few years ago, and I never got around to replacing them. Till now. Glad I ...
