Free Music Notes for Eddie and the Cruisers II (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: For Fans Of The Movie Only
Hit: 4 Stars
I personally think it's great music, but if you haven't seen the movies, you will probably disagree. You have to hear it in context. This is the music from the second movie...the CD from the first movie contains the hit "On The Dark Side".Free Music Review: Eddie and the Cruisers II, Eddie Lives
Hit: 4 Stars
Not a bad movie, but it didn't have the suspense of the first movie. We enjoyed it a lot. John Cafferty can still ROCK!!!!Free Music Review: Wishing Well
Hit: 2 Stars
In a classic case of art imitating life, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band became known by many FM radio listeners as Eddie and the Cruisers, due to their near-perfect performing of the "New Jersey/Bruce Springsteen" sound on a 1983 movie soundtrack of the same name.
And while the band found mid-1980s success on the Cobra and Rocky IV movie soundtracks, they returned to familiar turf on this 1989 release, a sequel to the fictional account of a bar band and the mysterious disappearance of their leader as they were on the cusp of striking gold on the national stage.
But the soundtrack formula is in cruise control and fails to stay on track for an entire album. When the well runs dry on ideas, a concept based on imitation stalls miserably.

I'm a big John Cafferty fan. I saw them live back in 1984 at the height of their "fame" and was bowled over. It was easily one of the best concerts that I've ever attended. That said, this album really leaves me cold, as did the entire Eddie II saga. A lukewarm movie and a stillborn soundtrack. How many times have you seen this recipe? It's tough to live through one lightning strike. Why tempt another?
