Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Like all good film soundtracks, the music from Blow succeeds in recreating the mood, era and setting of its film. What's interesting is that, for an American film, it's so reliant on classic British rock. Sure, these bands played what could arguably be considered "American" music, but these Brits did it so well. Few Yanks rocked the rhythm and blues sound better than the Rolling Stones ("Can't You Hear Me Knocking"), Cream ("Strange Brew") or the Faces ("Glad And Sorry") and Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light" was made into an international hit only when Manfred Mann's Earth Band covered it. In fact, though most people are familiar with Black Betty's "Ram Jam", few could say with any conviction who wrote it (Leadbelly). That's not to downplay the American contribution to this fine collection: One can never get tired of hearing Link Wray's "Rumble", the gospel-tinged, Dylan-free Bob Dylan song "All the Tired Horses", or the southern rock of Lynyrd Skynyrd ("That Smell") or the Marshall Tucker Band ("Can't You See"). In fact, the only time this soundtrack strays is when it lapses into kitsch (J Girls' "Yellow World", Willie Rosario's "Let's Boogaloo") or drags itself into the present (Nikki Costa's "Push & Pull"). They're not necessarily bad songs taken on their own, but in light of the company they keep here, well, they hardly rock. --Robert Burrow

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent sounds from the old days of rock, 16 Jun 2001
I love this CD, perfect music to drive with or relax to. The high points come from the rolling stones, the wonderfully indulgent homage to american folk music, 'All the tired horses', and the tune that you'll be humming all day, 'Blinded by the light'. A couple of stray tracks sit uneasily in the middle, eg/ 'Yellow World' by the J girls, but do not diminish from a great soundtrack, to a good movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing, 12 Jun 2004
bought this CD having seen the film (which is incredible for anyone who hasnt seen it) because I thought the soundtrack would probably be quite good. i was right! it is so good! really chilled, old kinda rock. There were a couple of not so good tracks in the middle but other than that.....amazing! im into punk/emo style of music and i still loved it! not the kind of stuff which i would usually listen to which shows that its good for anyone.....just buy it and see how it goes! goooo onnnnn you know you want to.....

5.0 out of 5 stars let it BLOW your mind, 12 Aug 2004
A fantastic soundtrack. The songs that gave the film it's swiftness and slickness. manfredd mann's version Blinded by the light has to be one of the greatest song ever recorded. there are some nifty latin tunes as well.
Every song is great.
