Ahh, the sounds of love. Hearing the soundtrack to the romantic comedy Runaway Bride, you'll get plenty of them. The Dixie Chicks, Eric Clapton, Martina McBride, and Shawn Colvin all lend new tracks to this sometimes-rootsy, sometimes-pop compilation. U2's classic anthem "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" starts things off, but Cupid quickly strikes with McBride's "I Love You," Clapton's intimate charmer "Blue Eyes Blue," and Marc Anthony's "You Sang to Me." Miles Davis's gorgeous "It Never Entered My Mind" is the one surprise cut, but the new tracks are the real highlight here. --Jason Verlinde

A nice "Easy-Listening" soundtrack with some surprises!.......2006-10-30

Since "West Side Story" and Disney's "Mary Poppìns", I became addicted to soundtrack albums. This one from a wonderful, light romantic comedy in which the beautiful Julia Roberts appears as gorgeous as she is, has a nice but eclectic selection of songs. Anyway, please note that there are three outstanding songs for what this soundtrack is worth: "And That's What Hurts", an authentic 'jewel' by DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES (not available in any of their other records or Hits compilations), "Where Were You (On Your Wedding Day)" by BILLY JOEL, and also the wonderful ballad "You Sang To Me" by Puerto Rico Salsa superstar MARC ANTHONY.
There is also a cute version of the classic "You Can't Hurry Love" by THE DIXIE CHICKS... You will get even "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by the superb Irish band U2. I bought this CD even when I didn't see the movie, but I was very happy when I discovered that so many great songs were included in it!

terrific variety of music.......2005-03-09

First of all, if you haven't seen the movie yet, see it. It is one of the best romantic comedies. The soundtrack is wonderful. I don't normally like Eric Clapton, but his song "Blue Eyes Blue" is wonderful. I never was really interested in the Dixie chicks, until I saw the hilarious video at the end of the movie. Their song "ready to run" is great. This cd would appeal to anyone of any age.

i saw all the reviews of this sountrack & all you people are ignore the track by CoCo Lee-before i fall in love....that's a great song in the album,just listen to this song you won't be dissapoint,she had a sweet+strong voice!!!!!

Entertaining pop soundtrack.......2003-04-13

OK, the movie's not much to speak of--a bit contrived for my tastes. But buried beneath the goo, there is a solid soundtrack. Two Dixie Chicks tracks mix pop with a bit of country twang. While their remake of "You Can't Hurry Love" doesn't match up to the original, it is nevertheless highly entertaining.

A lovely, introspective Eric Clapton track is a highlight, as is Martina McBride's "I Love You." This catchy bit of pop is slight but nevertheless impossible to get out of your head.

Marc Antony's "You Sang To Me" is also lovely, if a bit more sentimental. The album also contains previously released 1980s tracks from U2 ("I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" from 1987's "The Joshua Tree") and Hall & Oates. As the Amazon review says, the new material is what makes this CD worth buying. Fun, high-energy listening, and better than your average compilation soundtrack.

Romantic and eclectic.......2002-08-29

Like the movie itself, the Runaway Bride soundtrack is a romantic little piece that should appeal to a great variety of people. The disc encompasses different types of music, from jazz (Miles Davis) to pop (CoCo Lee) to country (Martina McBride), yet the common thread among all of 14 songs is the theme of love. However, I feel that the variety is both the strong point and the weak point of the disc. I'll explain: Personally, I bought this CD for a few gems: the fun "Where Were You?," the even more fun "Ready to Run," the danceable classic "You Can't Hurry Love," and, of course, the wistful "It Never Entered My Mind." Being a pop and jazz lover, I tend to skip over the easy listening selections. What I mean is that in covering all types of musical ground, the CD kind of spreads itself too thinly.

However, if you're looking for a CD of love songs that will conjure up images of this sweet movie (namely U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and Miles Davis's "It Never Entered My Mind"), look no further. This CD is the perfect background music for a sunny afternoon outside, particularly if you live in a town like the one in the movie.
