Free Music Notes for Eddie & The Cruisers - Soundtrack
Free Music Review: One of the best soundtracks ever!
Hit: 5 Stars
While the movie, "Eddie & The Cruisers" met with modest success, the same can't be said about the soundtrack. John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band did the true musicianship for the movie and I think this added to some of the confusion in regards to further success for them. Michael Pare' did such a great job lip synching in the movie most people really didn't realize that the music was done by someone else.
There is not a clinker on this recording. "Summer Nights" brings back memories of almost everyone's teen years. "Tender Years" evokes fond memories in a somewhat sad tone. "Season In Hell" makes you ironically sad that Eddie didn't go on making music (but that's the point, huh?). I could go song by song and link an emotion or crucial aspect of the movie to each.
The movie had its short comings but, song by song, this soundtrack is as strong as it gets.
Eddie & The Cruisers - Soundtrack Poster
This modest early '80s hit film about a fictional '60s rock icon who mysteriously disappears (or does he?) took its lead from similar legends surrounding the death of Jim Morrison. Its succesful soundtrack arose from an even more surreal brew of art and commerce. Then-journeyman musician John Cafferty and his Beaver Brown Band essentially became the, er, "real" Eddie and the Cruisers, with actor Michael Pare lip-synching the vocals, and other actors miming their parts. Cafferty and crew supply what was then a fair approximation of the Springsteen Sensibility--wall-of-sound bar rock with overreaching lyrics and grab-your-throat vocals. Not half-bad--if you like that sort of thing. --Jerry McCulleyClassic Rock Music CDs
