VARIOUS ARTISTS: For the Love of the Game - Music from the Motion Picture (MCA) |
As with most movies these days, there's a throwback to the 70's--this time it's Steely Dan's "Reeling in the Years." At least it's a good song Roy Orbison's touching ballad "The Only One" is another high point on the disc. It's always great to see Orbison's music being included in things. Tunes to stay away from? Yep, there's a few of those too. Jonny Lang destroys "Paint it Black." Unless you've got a death wish, don't even think about playing this for a Stones fan. Shaggy's "Hope" is nothing you'll want to hear more than once either. The enhanced portion of the CD is a video of the song. They should've used the video for "Baby Love" instead. If you haven't seen it yet, watch for it. Overall, the CD is a mixed bag, but there are enough good tunes scattered throughout to make it a worthy addition to your collection.
