Movie Sound Track
It's kinda fun to listen to and the songs are good. I bought this album looking for something new/different/and off the wall to play on my radio show, and it has it. For the money it's worth adding to your Dwight Yoakum music library, and will give you 9 Dwight songs that to my knowledge aren't on anything else. Just wish one of them had been a rock-a-billy number. . . .

Dwight's Bad Days
Maybe he tried to accomplish too much for his first directorial outing, in that he also wrote, scored, and starred in it, but really, it isn't that bad. After suffering through the"most painful experience" of his life in completing this film, Dwight Yoakam also suffered horrible reviews for it. I'm not a movie critic, I only know that this movie's story line and execution entertain me. (Other than the late Michael Jeter, who was a memorable actor, but at a certain decibel level, his voice makes me want to bite someone). Being a HUGE Dwight fan, I may be biased,but I think this movie's worth a look. .


Awesome!
Shows another aspect of Dwight's talents; love the movie clips in between songs!. My husband and I think this is one of Dwight's best! Although we like everything he does, some songs are better than others.


Not really a soundtrack, but....

First let me say that 'Words', selections which begin and end this CD, the end being a sort of jazzy rendention are the two best tracks on the CD. fine music. As I said in my review of the film, in addition to this 'companion' soundtrack, I would have loved to additionally own the 'actual' soundtrack. Some may have found it monotonous, while I myself found it mesmerizing. That soundtrack can be isolated on the DVD and one could record it on tape for their own listening pleasure, but I digress. . . .

This companion soundtrack contains a variety of musical genres. I particularly enjoyed 'Who At The Door Is Standing' and 'What's Left Of Me' and you can't get any more diverse than that.

The between-track dialogue is enjoyment to me. Perhaps because it reminds me of the film, which is one of my favorites.

Anyone who loves Dwight Yoakam, his music, and his band will love the divergence and quality of this CD and will want to have it in their collection.


If you love Yoakam music...you're gonna LOVE this....
. . . . but, you might want to skip the movie; it's a "yawner". {Although, Mr. Yoakam "Do look MIGHTY FINE" in all that western wear!:>}

The CD has a western flavor. A refreshing change from the usual Yoakam {not that we don't love that too!} The first cut, "Words" is quiet, reflective. . . . and says alot with a few words, really. "Who At My Door Is Standing", "The Darkest Hour" and "It Is Well With MY Soul, are old gospel favorites done with heart and I enjoyed hearing them by Yoakam. "Somewhere" is my favorite on the CD because it's so western-melancholy-sweet. I relate to his "What's Left Of Me". . I enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek lyrics. . . {I really can't stand Jagger. . . so we'll give Dwight most of the credit for this one}. "Tears For Two" and "No Future In Sight" are the same "down-on-your-luck-but-with-a-sense-of-dry-humor" stuff we are used to from him. . . . but with the same western flavor as the rest of the CD. As you can see, I'm not much of an expert when it comes to reviews. . . . but if you enjoy Yoakam music. . . . you REALLY need to add this one to your collection.
