Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
In 1966, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was working towards a middleweight boxing title when he was arrested for three murders and sentenced to three life sentences. Twenty years later, Carter was released from prison after a Brooklyn teenager and three Canadian activists proved his innocence. Carter's story initially inspired Bob Dylan to pen "Hurricane" back in 1975. Today, director Norman Jewison (In the Heat of the Night, A Soldier's Story) has cast Denzel Washington as Hurricane on the big screen. The soundtrack is as schizophrenic as they come, featuring Dylan's tune plus a modern interpretation by Black Thought, Common, Mos Def, the Roots and others that is virtually unrecognisable. Ray Charles, Ruth Brown and Etta James represent the old guard with classic soul. Gil Scott-Heron's classic "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is a tenet of urban protest. The one bum note is provided by writer-for-hire Dianne Warren, who contributes "One More Mountain (Free Again)" for K-Ci & JoJo, complete with lite-FM piano and the kind of inspirational junk you'd hope "Hurricane" Carter would bypass. --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 10 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Rubin Hurricane Carter was in prison for 20 years for a crime he did not commit. Artists such as Bob Dylan have shared thier thoughts in this soundtrack. I especially like 'Hurricane' by Dylan because i feel that is one of the best songs ever made...

This is a must have buy for all boxer fans!

5.0 out of 5 stars 'The HURRICANE blows them all away', 24 Sep 2000
This is simply the best soundtrack I have heard in ages.

It starts of well, superbly and by half way through I found myself reading the sleeve to find out which albums the individual tracks are featured on so I mark them down for later purchase.

Gil-Scott Heron's 'revolution' and Bob Dylan's 'Hurricane'are the obvious standouts - both marvellous. The fact that Dylan's song was written at the time of the events of the film is testimony to his wonderful ability as a songwriter.

However tracks such as Etta James funked up 'In the basement'left me wondering why I did not own one of her albums.

Put simply this is a helluva soundtrack suitable for any occasion.
