Hit: 5 Stars
OK, I will make this a quick one. If you survived the 70's, congratulations. I know I had more fun than in any other decade of my life. Listen up, this CD is a perfect companion to the DVD. I just watched the video not long ago, and it brought tears to my eyes as I remembered the music, the house parties, the drunken reverie, and just plain old good times. You could walk around at 2:00 AM and not worry about getting mugged or shot. The movie takes place around 1973 - my senior year of high school! I loved the music on this! I had to smile when I heard "Sparks" from the Who - this song is featured on a car commercial now. Good choice of Zeppelin songs. Too bad the Stones wouldn't play nice and contribute. By the way, reading the reviews makes it apparent that a lot of people are unfamiliar with the Zeppelin tunes. Hey, every serious music fan of the 70's MUST own every Zeppelin CD. Mandatory item. Also every Lynyrd Skynyrd CD up through "Street Survivors". And every Allman Brothers CD through "Brothers and Sisters". This CD is a pretty good sampler and souvenir of the movie. Get it!
Almost Famous Poster
Writer-director Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Say Anything, Singles) was a teenager when Rolling Stone magazine sent him out to write cover stories in the 1970s. Nearly 30 years later, Crowe tells the tale in satisfying fashion and extensive detail with Almost Famous, accompanied by a soundtrack that accurately reflects the time of his trial by fire. Led Zeppelin have never before licensed a performance to a soundtrack, so "That's the Way" earns the distinction. A live version of Lou Reed's "Waiting for the Man" performed by David Bowie in 1972 typifies the emerging underground glam movement. Classic rock from Simon & Garfunkel, Rod Stewart, Elton John, and Yes fill things out. Cat Stevens's "The Wind" is rescued from the Timberland commercial. Nancy Wilson of Heart contributes the original score (one track, "Lucky Trumble," featured here) and a track by the fictitious hard-rock band Stillwater, whose "Fever Dog" sounds like a lost track from the hard-rock-guitar wars of the 1970s. Add in tracks by garage-rock faves the Seeds, soul strutter Clarence Carter, and Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers Band and you've got an expansive collection of tunes to sift through. More than 50 songs are featured in the film. Next question: when's volume 2? --Rob O'ConnorPop Music CDs
