Where the Heart Is: Music from the Motion Picture [Soundtrack]

where the heart is: music from the motion picture [soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This is exactly the kind of soundtrack you'd expect to complement a movie that takes a humorous if sentimental look at the power of love and friendship. Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, Stockard Channing, and Joan Cusack star in the film and they have musical counterparts in Beth Nielsen Chapman, Martina McBride, and teen blues star Shannon Curfman. All tracks are manicured performances high in cinematic gloss and often enveloped in swooning strings or other effects of grandeur. It's only appropriate then that a stylist as accomplished as Lyle Lovett would smooth over Ray Charles's "What'd I Say," and that eternal studio pro and road veteran John Hiatt would contribute the workmanlike R&B-influenced "Let It Slip Away." One sure surprise is Joan Osborne's collaboration with Tommy Sims for the hip-hop-R&B of "Rowdy Booty Time." Most successful is Emmylou Harris and Patty Griffin's duet of "Beyond the Blue," on which their complementary voices merge with a subdued rhythm track for one of the soundtrack's few inspired moments. --Rob O'Connor

A few good songs.......2007-03-16

There are a couple of good songs, but a few not so good ones. But I really love that Beat of a Heart song, so I had to buy it.

Where The Heart Is..........2006-08-01

I'm not a big fan of country, for that is what this soundtrack is mostly made of, but I actually kind of liked the country songs. They got to my heart. The music is heartwarming and just "stroll down the city streets" type of music. Some of the music is upbeat and some of it is sad. This is highly recommended if you love country, but if you hate country, this isn't for you then.

Love the CD.......2006-06-04

I bought this CD because I had bought the movie. I loved the movie. Then I heard the CD. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. I think it is a great CD. I would recommend this CD to anyone. Every song on it is wonderful. There isn't a song that I dislike. One of my favorite songs on the CD is "Just Might Change Your Life". The whole CD is great.

If you love the movie..........2005-01-31

...get this soundtrack. It's a really fun album. I must admit, there are a couple of songs on there that I skip past like (What'd I Say - Lyle Lovette)&(Let it Slip Away - John Hiatt). But that's just my taste. I love having the Corrs song "So Young," so much that I think I might just go buy THEIR album. And the song "Beat of the Heart" has actually grown on me and I like it more and more every time I hear it.
I'm happy to have this album. It's feel-good music and it makes me feel happy. I would definitely recommend this album to someone who loved this movie.

Great CD in Time.......2002-07-24

I LOVED this movie, so I was psyched to get the soundtrack, and I love it! I fell instantly in love with "Shake my Soul" and "beyond the Blue," but it did take some time for me to enjoy the whole CD. "Few and Far Between" and "Rowdy Booty Time took some getting used to, but now I can honestly say that I enjoy every single song on this CD....besides "Beat of the Heart"...I wasn't a fan of the song in the movie, and I guess I still don't like, but don't let that stop you from missing out on the rest this CD has to offer!
