"This soundtrack album to the 2005 theatrical release begins with Willie "Uncle Jesse" Nelson telling a joke. Then we'll hear great performances by Jessica "Daisy" Simpson.Lynyrd Skynyrd,The James Gang,Stevie Ray Vaughan and of course,Nelson. Nelson performs GOOD OL' BOYS by his late longtime friend Waylon Jennings. Jennings,who served as off-screen narrator on the 1979-85 CBS comedy-adventure series,performed the theme song heard in the opening montage,where he was credited as "the balladeer". Nelson performed it in one of the film's final scenes. Simpson,one of today's biggest recording stars,brilliantly covers Nancy Sinatra's 1966 hit THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKIN',which was written by Lee Hazelwood. The other songs are great. This album would be more awesome with recordings by the series' stars Tom Wopat and John Schneider,who are country music artists themselves. In fact,they,with co-star Catherine Bach,the original Daisy,recently covered GOB with additional lyrics paying homage to Jennings."
