CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com There's nothing fancy or pretentious about the Moonlight Mile soundtrack, just classic cuts from classy bards and rockers. Sly and the Family Stone celebrate with the combustible horn-and-harmonica barnstormer "I Want to Take You Higher," which is followed by the majestic blues, soul, and rock hybrid of the Rolling Stones' epic title cut and Elton John's ragged piano rocker. The one-two glam rock punch of T. Rex and David Bowie shrieks with wild-eyed swagger, but things mellow out as Van Morrison, Jefferson Airplane, and Bob Dylan chime in with stripped-down, emotional storytelling. Even the one modern new song, a darker Travis number waltzing with urgent longing, sounds as timeless as these legends. The only black mark is Gary Glitter's tired, overplayed "Rock and Roll (Part 2)," whose fourth-quarter touchdown brashness sticks out like a sore thumb amid the otherwise tasteful selections. Indeed, Moonlight Mile is a solid album through and through. Blessedly highlighting lesser-known but still worthy cuts from music's great innovators, the album stands alongside soundtracks like The Royal Tenenbaums as an excellent example of how to make the familiar seem fresh and new. --Annie Zaleski Similar CDs

Final Result: 3 1/2 Stars Miss P | Dirty Jerz | 11/19/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) ""Moonlight Mile" is a collection of songs that you've probably heard a million times before and could probably hear a million more. It's a solid 70's rock revue, but like the decade itself, there are some huge hits and huge misses. Having seen the movie first, I need to give this album 2 separate ratings.If you HAVEN'T seen the Movie: 4 STARS. With songs such as the Rolling Stones' "Moonlight Mile," Elton John's more obscure "Razorface," and Bob Dylan's classic "Buckets Of Rain," how could you possibly go wrong? Add in Bowie's manic "Sweet Head," Van Morrison's achingly beautiful "I'll Be Your Lover Too" and both Sly and the Family Stone songs, and you've got a damn near perfect album. Unfortunately, the misplaced "I Hear You Knocking" and the awful hockey theme song, "Rock and Roll (Part 2)" knock one of the stars off, giving the album 4 out of 5 stars.If you HAVE Seen the Movie: 3 STARS. There are one or two songs that were glaringly omitted from this album. Now I understand that with a compilation album, song rights play an enormous part in what makes the final cut. But to not include Van Morrison's "Sweet Thing," the song that ended the movie, is just wrong! Luckily, one Van song made it onto the album, but "Sweet Thing" would have added so much more to this cd.Final Result: 3 1/2 stars." The song that played during the movie trailer... Miss P | 01/09/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "was Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight". Why is that killer EJ song missing from this soundtrack? They should have had a couple musicians pen one or two original songs also. But still it is a small quibble in an otherwise quite good soundtrack. Dig?"
