CD Reviews
Good, but not what you're probably expecting...

"A lot of people went out and bought this cd after watching the movie, but probably not because of Percy Sledge. Unfortunately, that's about all you get. The orchestral pieces are great background music, but are strangely prioritized for the soundtrack in the place of Michael Stipe and Rickie Lee Jones. For everyone going crazy trying to find out what songs are missing from the soundtrack, I hope this helps:"Running From Mercy" by Rickie Lee Jones
"I'm a Good Man" by Robert Cray"Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.
"Stewart's Coat" by Rickie Lee Jones"
WHAT!?!?...But it didn't have everything.

"I thought this was an emotionally stirring movie and the soundtrack was equally moving. But there was so much more music in the movie that I was hoping and expecting to have if I bought the soundtrack. I suppose the keywords were "Music from" The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. I was very disappointed in what was missing."

"REM sings "Everybody Hurts". It's a great song and it's a shame that it's not on this album, since it's part of a defining moment in the movie."
Song Over Credits

"For anyone who wondered what the song playing over the end credits was...it's Ricky Lee Jones singing "Stewart's Coat." It definitely should have been included on the soundtrack."
Great Movie - Lousy Soundtrack

"The movie was soooo good, the soundtrack soooo bad, even though there was good music in the movie that fit so well.By the way, the song in the credits was indeed by Rickie Lee Jones but the title was "Running From Mercy" and not Stewart's Coat as previously posted by someone else.If you liked that version of Running From Mercy, check out Rickie's other CDs. She is an outstanding singer/songwriter."
