Editorial Reviews

HBO's Mafia masterpiece The Sopranos is a remarkable television series--it's witty, creative, and truly unique. The same praises could be sung for a show's soundtrack, an odd but fun mix of beats, classic rock, and--what else?--Mafia-staple Sinatra. A3's theme "Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix)" gets things off to a lively start, as does bluesman R.L. Burnside's "It's Bad You Know" (from his Come On In remix album). Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody" (from his Slow Train Coming album), Bruce Springsteen's "State Trooper," and Elvis Costello's "Complicated Shadows" aren't tracks you'll hear on the local classic rock station, but they work perfectly here. And when was the last time you heard both Little Steven & the Disciples of Soul and Nick Lowe on TV? In short, a great, eclectic collection. --Jason Verlinde

5 out of 5 stars good music.......2007-06-27

Starting from the intro when tony is driving in north jersey with "woke up this morning" playing as the camera shows scenes from different towns i knew i was hooked to both the music and the show. Good mix of classic rock songs (the ones that arent totally burned out from the radio) and some newer beat oriented music. Surprisingly good soundtrack.

4 out of 5 stars Woke Up This Morning Comparison.......2007-05-24

When I first heard the song "Woke Up This Morning" on the Sopranos, I thought it must be a Dire Straits song. Does anyone else think there is a similarity?

3 out of 5 stars Not a great collection.......2007-05-16

We love the Sopranos, but were disappointed in this collection other than the theme song and one or two others.

4 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-05-15

I love the theme song from the show and am glad to say that I also enjoy almost all the other songs on the CD. There are a couple that just are not my style (I can't stand Bob Dylan)but overall I am glad I bought it.

5 out of 5 stars You better buy or else.......2007-05-12

If you have watched the series or have the DVD this is a great add on. Just reminds you as you listen what could go wrong...

The Sopranos have become considerably more than just the average psychically tortured New Jersey mob family next door. HBO's innovative, if distinctly murderous soap opera has become a modern cultural icon, one whose innovative pop music score is almost an equal supporting cast member. The term dizzying has been overused in describing strong soundtrack collections, but it just might not do this second volume of Sopranos music justice. Show creator David Chase, director Martin Bruestle, and executive producer Brad Grey are credited with this rich, cross-genre, multigenerational collection, but they tellingly thank a few score others. The contributions from usual suspect vets like Frank Sinatra, Dylan, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding, Van Morrison, the Kinks, Keith Richards (and the Stones), the Pretenders, and Ben E. King contain more than their fair share of musical and contextual surprises. But the collection's true appeal lies in its artistically oblique corners, which somehow embrace alt-rock (R&B tinged and straight up, courtesy of Pigeonhed and Cake, respectively), nouveau Aussie country (Kasey Chambers), traditional gospel and swampy blues (the Campbell Brothers with Katie Jackson, R.L. Burnside), Vivaldi (Cecilia Di Bartoli), and contemporary Neopolitan pop (Madreblu, Lorenzo Jovanotti). Even budding star Uncle Junior chimes in, with Dominic "Goldenthroat" Chianese lending a spare, heartfelt rendition of the traditional "Core'ngrato"; hang onto your kneecaps, 'N Sync! --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Want More.......2007-04-03

I have both CD soundtracks from the HBO series "The Sopranos". What makes them so enjoyable is that they are very eclectic. If you had asked me before this series if I would enjoy listening to Frank Sinatra, my answer would have been a definite no. How wrong I was.
What I want to know is if and when they are going to release additional CD soundtracks. Does anybody know? The show has continued to include great music in every epidsode each season. The 2 CDs that have been released are like a wicked tease. I want more from the seasons that have come since the release of this 2nd CD.
The show itself is kind of the same, if you think about it. Just 13 episodes per season (1-5), which was expanded to 20 for season 6. But, also just 6 seasons altogether. It just leaves you wanting more. By far, one of the greatest drama series of all-time.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome collection for a Sopranos follower.......2006-10-31

If you've followed the series, and felt a compelling association with the characters and their charisma, you'll relive that joy and connection with the songs in this collection.

5 out of 5 stars If you like the sopranos , you're gonna love this ... .......2006-08-05

From song number 1 that's from the first episode of the third season , all troughout the whole disc it's an excellent group of songs with that unique taste of music from the sopranos.
Disc number 1 is a little less rock and more various kinds of music and Disc number 2 is a bit more rock and the last track with the dialogues that's just like putting the cherry on the sundea , it's great , like it says in the title , if you're a soprano fan you'll enjoy this 2 discs set a whole lot ... Madonn' !!

5 out of 5 stars excellent, commendatori il Sopranos!.......2005-09-24

Great addition for any Sopranos fanatic. Dialogue from series is hilarious at the end of the CD. Music is all very good, and brings nostalgia from the episodes.

4 out of 5 stars You can't have everything........2005-09-14

Of course there were selections I wanted to hear that weren't on it, but still a very good collection. No "When this battle is over, who will wear the crown?" (I wish I knew the artist), and some others. Very worthwhile.
