Hit: 4 Stars
I'm sure most people want to hear about the new Dylan song, "Huck's Tune." It is in fact a very good song, very much in his new style of songwriting: evocative, allusive, elegiac. It's similar lyrically to "Tell Ol' Bill" but I don't like it quite as much, although I prefer it to "Waiting for You" or "Cross the Green Mountain." As always, Dylan's singing is great and the musical backing excellent: quiet, country-waltz-ish. It creates a certain mood and sustains it for four minutes, even alludes to "Moon River," which tells you what Dylan is trying to do here. Another very solid soundtrack entry for Dylan.
One thing, I'm not sure of the recording date, but perhaps pre-"Modern Times" because it would certainly be out of place on that album. Another thing, the title "Huck's Tune" seems to be slapped on (the name of the lead character in the film is Huck), because Dylan doesn't mention the name at all in the song.
The rest of the soundtrack is spotty - two Springsteen songs (and not his best), one by Ryan Adams (whom I never liked), a cheesy jazz version of a Leonard Cohen song (sounds like Barnes & Noble music), and a song sung By Drew Barrymore (which is not that bad - better than some other songs here). After "Huck's Tune," the best songs are Bonnie Raitt's version of "Bartender's Blues" and Kris Kristofferson's new song. There are alos 2 George Jones tunes and "Like a Rolling Stone," which sounds really out of place. Every soundtrack album that features a new song by Dylan always uses old ones as well, must be to capitalize on the price he charges or something.
Anyway, the only reason to own the soundtrack is for "Huck's Tune," which gets 5 stars but the soundtrack only gets 3, so 4 in all.
Free Music Review: Bob Dylan Who?
Hit: 4 Stars
After all the hoo-hah abouot most people only care about the new Dylan song, I must say that there are many other good reasons to listen to this soundtrack. I always enjoy thematic stuff, and so there's the song from "Cabaret," Liza singing "Maybe this time," and my own personal favorite, George Jones (who can do no wrong!) singing "I always get lucky with you." I bought the soundtrack for that cut alone. But, yes, Mr. Dylan's was also much appreciated. I don't see how anyone could go wrong with this whole album!Free Music Review: Boring Movie Great Soundtrack
Hit: 4 Stars
what's not to like about having three living legends on one soundtrack. (Springstein, Dylan, and Ryan Adams) Further, you get to hear Drew Barrymore sing a slow heartbreaking song and she does a pretty good job of it. The movie is like watching paint dry - or more aptly- watching poker on television with no commercials to look forward to. The last dylan song is great. Was it written for this movie??? I don't know but I like it.Free Music Review: Lucky You

As usual, Amazon had the CD I was hoping to purchase at a very good price and it was received in only a few days.
I wouldn't say I buy a lot of CD's but, I hear certain music, or soundtracks that really appeal to me and the first thing I do is check Amazon and they always have what I'm looking to buy.
