Editorial Reviews

The Dukes of Hazzard soundtrack will probably prove to be much like the film: Mixing Jessica Simpson and Willie Nelson together in a Southern rock milieu will either seem genius or it'll have you cowering under Grandma's homemade country quilt. This musical journey to the land of moonshine and short shorts kicks off with Simpson (channeling Britney Spears), who purrs her way through a countrified version of "These Boots Are Made for Walkin." From there, the disc settles into straightforward Southern rockville by way of Lynyrd Skynrd, Molly Hatchet, and other bands from the 1970s and '80s, the era of the Dukes of Hazzard television show. (Two notable exceptions are "Burn It Off" by the band formerly known as the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and "Soul City" by Southern Culture on the Skids.)

There's little inventiveness and few surprises in this compilation. Songs like "Black Betty," "Call Me the Breeze," and "Pride and Joy" should be so well known to fans that only the desire to have them in one place--perhaps as a sonic backdrop to your next stock-car race--would make this album worth owning. Possibly the best track in the collection is Willie Nelson's rendition of "Good Ol' Boys." It reminds one of the Waylon Jennings original, and should give serious Dukes fans a hankerin' for the TV soundtrack, which is being re-released to coincide with the film's debut. --Leah Weathersby

The Soundtrack is Better than the Movie! .......2006-08-05

I was never a big fan of the TV show and the movie was even worse. But I've always been a big fan of Southern Rock and so I really liked the soundtrack music which features songs by Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers, as well as Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' with Disaster." I'm only giving the CD four stars instead of five because, as another reviewer noted, they left out Mountain's classic "Mississippi Queen." They also left out an AC/DC song that was in the movie.

I took off one Star for Jessica Simpson rendition of Boots.......2006-06-24

Overall I liked this sountrack, except for the Jessica Simpson rendition of Nancy Sinatra's Boots, she destroyed the song, sounded like some kind of rapp fusion, man it was bad, the other 14 tracks range from very good to excellent, overall it is worth buying, but if you don't want to be sick skip the Jessica Simpson track.

KOOL BUT MISSING SOME SONGS .......2006-01-04

The soundtrack is awsome.But later on I discovered some songs are missing! Its sad to know that your not getting every song from the movie.

The Songs That Are Missing:
1. Jerry Reed's "Guitar Man" (played in the begining of the movie)
2. Shooter Jenninng's "Busted in Baylor County" (played in the scence where Bo and Luke where trying to bust open Boss Hogg's safe)
3. Mountain's "Mississipi Queen" (played when Bo and Luke get there first ride in the new General Lee)
4. Ac/Dc's "If You Want Blood, You Got It" (played when the duke boys are being chased by cops in Alanta)

bore!.......2005-11-22

First, the Jessica Simpson rendition of Nancy Sinatra's fails miserably in comparison. Second, the film 'Spiderman' tacked on the original TV score at the end of the film, it worked. I only wish this did the same with Haggard and it would be icing on the cake if it went a further step with Johnny Cash's 'The General Lee'. Third, my advice...get the TV series soundtrack. There is something about getting further away from the essence of things, things get a bit watered down. LONG LIVE WILLIE!!!

It's Not Enough For A Soundtrack..........2005-10-23

I don't know what's the basic idea for the producers of this album. It's a movie, not a TV series anymore. The music in this soundtrack really reminds me to the west time, country everywhere, cowboys, old cars, but wait..... That's not the one the movie wants to say. This soundtrack is on the wrong lane. It brings the movie and the soundtrack itself to theme for a TV series. The music is so bad, sometimes the songs don't have any exact rhyme and themes. I also get bored when I listen to this album. Almost of the songs here have the same rhythms and beats, I really hate it. The good sides for this album are Jessica Simpson with her This Boots Are Made For Walkin (which I don't think so suited for this kind of soundtrack) and Uncle Jesse's jokes. This album is totally miserable. I'm so happy the movie is totally broke in the market, that's really reflect this soundtrack. I hope the movie will be the winner of Razzie Awards this year. BUT THE FIRST THING>>>>>>>>> Don't buy this, you'll get unsatisfied, upset, angry, because you've buy this.
HAVE A NICE DAY ^_^ !!!!!

Significant Songs Missing.......2007-06-27

I was very disappointed in this CD, as two of the most significant songs in the movie, Mountain's "Mississippi Queen" and ZZ Top's "La Grange", were missing from the CD. When I order a soundtrack, I want EVERY piece of music that's played in the movie. The music makes the scenes come alive.

I suggest reissuing this CD with the missing songs intact and sending a complimentary copy to all who've purchased it to date.

Southern girl loves it.......2007-05-29

This music brings welcome comic relief in a world that often takes itself too seriously. It's got all the retro southern rock I grew up with, and is just a hoot to listen to.

This country collection rocks!.......2006-12-13

This soundtrack album to the 2005 theatrical release begins with Willie "Uncle Jesse" Nelson telling a joke. Then we'll hear great performances by Jessica "Daisy" Simpson.Lynyrd Skynyrd,The James Gang,Stevie Ray Vaughan and of course,Nelson. Nelson performs GOOD OL' BOYS by his late longtime friend Waylon Jennings. Jennings,who served as off-screen narrator on the 1979-85 CBS comedy-adventure series,performed the theme song heard in the opening montage,where he was credited as "the balladeer". Nelson performed it in one of the film's final scenes. Simpson,one of today's biggest recording stars,brilliantly covers Nancy Sinatra's 1966 hit THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKIN',which was written by Lee Hazelwood. The other songs are great. This album would be more awesome with recordings by the series' stars Tom Wopat and John Schneider,who are country music artists themselves. In fact,they,with co-star Catherine Bach,the original Daisy,recently covered GOB with additional lyrics paying homage to Jennings.
