Free Music Review: SOUNDTRACK ALBUM
Hit: 5 Stars
Bob did a GREAT job on this soundtrack album!!! The instrumental Main Theme (Billy) is a particularly well-done mood setter which gains intensity as it progresses (like the gradual appearance of a distant lone rider from the dust and wind of the horizon) it lasts 6 minutes and Bob's fans usually like his songs to last long (the longer the better). Knockin' On Heaven's Door which Bob sings is on this album. You should know this one by now, but if you DON'T, please listen to it as it is outstanding in melody, mood, and the sound of Bob's creamy voice--an A+ song.
I am truly amazed at one thing that seems to be somewhat of a regular with composers: Some of them do really great work upon request when doing music for a play, movie or such. Maybe we should push Bob to do something else--give him another theme and he might come up with some other masterpieces. Edvard Grieg, the Norwegian Composer (AND I AM NOT COMPARING THE TWO!!!!) did PEER GYNT (Suites) upon request. This is classical music but if you haven't heard this collection, you MUST!--especially the Halls of the Mountain King (piece on Peer Gynt) that IS AWESOME (it's too short, however). Another well-known composer is George Gershwin who did Porgy and Bess, Summertime, Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris upon request (if not all of them upon request, I am sure that some of these pieces were included).
I am not doing reviews for Bob's first albums as I am not comfortable judging them since these were his first albums and some of his early best and classical pieces are on them. You can't make a mistake getting them!!!!! I don't feel they are subject to open hunting season, if you know what I mean. This soundtrack album is a must buy and you have several options to choose from. I don't remember which category I bought this CD from and put this review on the first one that came up. Just get it!! Hey!!! Bob is in this film as a character called Alias!!!
I have most of Bob's albums now and will probably do one or two very short reviews--maybe--on my last ones I got. I don't intend to get "Self Portrait". There will be a book review coming up and a DVD review coming up shortly that I highly recommend--in fact, the DVD, book and one album all fit in quite nicely as a gift to yourself or someone else type of combo.
If you are a newcomer, please read my reviews and follow through. If you have not witnessed or participated in the 60's or else catching up with it all, please make sure you know Bob from the very start and get acquainted with all his earlier work, then move up and expand.
