Free Music Notes for Jackie Brown: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture (1997 Film)
Free Music Review: A Real Beautiful Mix
Hit: 5 Stars
When my mother first bought the movie, it was good even though I wasn't all that deep into music at the time. Yet the song that the film opens up to, "Across 110th Street" by Bobby Womack is an amazing song that not only captures what was taking place back then in the ghetto/urban streets, yet it still has truth in the current condition of the under privileged. The mixture of songs from Johnny Cash to psychedelic rock, is beautiful. This is a keeper for those that really just enjoy music. Oh and Brother's Johnson "Strawberry Letter #22" is off the chain! Free Music Review: A good CD
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD has a lot of good music and in the order it was in the movie. I like this one and have listened to it more than a few times. Free Music Review: Biased
Hit: 4 Stars
I have to admit that my high rating of this album is mostly because of Pam Grier's presence. I am a huge Pam Grier fan and she can do no wrong. However, the soundtrack is very good because it does a good job of blending 70s music (Blaxploitation) with the "Tarantino movie sound" i.e. heavy guitar & rock based. Go back to Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. I have an even greater appreication for Bobby Womack who doesn't have the smoothest voice in R&B, but his raspy/scratchy voice is very unique.Free Music Review: i dont dig on sountracks....

But I bought this one. Couldn't help it. The music was such a prominent part of the film, more so than any other film I've seen. It was a good film, ok. I'm not in love with it. But the music was in tune with the great parts of the film- never ever witnessed this before. Witness: Samuel Jackson slipping on the gloves and coldly assasinating Chris Tucker. Could that song, don't even know what it's called, be more shocking, fitting, pretty much every adjective. And then the end of the flick with Jackie driving with a tear in her eye singing along- I do the same thing without the tear. Truth told I didn't know much about this music before I saw the movie. But it makes me feel like I was there and that makes my life more exciting and that makes a good album. Pulp fiction OST was really good too but to put it straight up, Jackie Brown is black soul that white boys don't get the pleasure to hear. Boo-yah! Free Music Review: "Boo Yah!" A great soundtrack and movie.
Hit: 5 Stars
Seeing "Pulp Fiction" was quite a revelation. I thought,"This is the kind of movie I've waited for my whole life." Although I was only 16 when I saw it at the movies. So I couldn't wait for the follow-up to Pulp. And I waited, and waited, and waited seemingly forever for Quentin Tarantino's next movie. Finally in December of 1997 came "Jackie Brown". I didn't see the movie when it came out but I'd always look at the soundtrack in the music stores wondering if I should buy it. After all, the soundtrack to Pulp was as incredible as the movie. Really, the music is intregal to the movie, you can't separate the two. So I never bought the soundtrack to Jackie because I hadn't watched the movie. Then last summer I finally watched the movie on T.V. I quickly realized that it was quite a good movie and had some really cool music as well. Now I'm ashamed to say that I waited so long to watch the movie and thus buy the soundtrack, and the movie on DVD. There are great hits here such as "Midnight Confession", "Strawberry Letter #23", and "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time" which is essentially the movies theme. But there are wonderful lost classics such as "Street Life", Minnie Ripperton's "Inside My Love", Johnny Cash's "Tennessee Stud", Bobby Womack singing "Across 110th St", and of course Pam Grier herself singing "Long Time Woman". If you haven't seen the movie I recommend you do. It's excellent. You should probably wait to buy the soundtrack until after you've seen the movie too, otherwise the songs won't have the same impact. Either way though it's another in the long line of quirky, funky, and phenomenal Tarantino sountracks.
