Editorial Reviews

The soundtrack to The Rookie, a true story about a late-blooming major league pitcher, is as American as apple pie, the Stars and Stripes, and, naturally, baseball. Composed of down-home country-fried and blues-bred rock, the album evocatively simulates the feeling of America's storied frontier heritage. Seasoned performers like Steve Earle (the uplifting rustic rock track "Some Dreams"), John Fogerty (the swampy blues number "Blue Moon Nights"), and Willie Nelson (the vintage front-porch country of "Nothing I Can Do About It Now") conjure up the simpler times of dusty farms and sparsely settled plains. Contemporary crooners capture this mood just as skillfully--Ryan Adams's fragile "In My Time of Need" and "Tumbling Down," Allison Moorer's piano-sprinkled soul ballad, are both fit for the desolate open road. Never flashy or overwhelming, the album mixes these slower and upbeat tracks seamlessly, ensuring that its energy never drags. Moreover, the quality of the musicians and songs included is rock solid through and through, guaranteeing that The Rookie is one soundtrack that definitely hits a home run. --Annie Zaleski

4 out of 5 stars great music for a great movie.......2006-07-23

i ve just watched this movie for the first time and now i am interested in the soundtrack. some artists i knew, the others i didn't and wanted to know the singers and song titles. the overall soundtrack complements the location of the movie and the action of the characters. i feel like i just visited texas!

as an elvis fan, i was thrilled to hear Run On used. but it's missing from this recording. the first reviewer here (from 2002) correctly identifies it, and he also identified the song in the celebratory locker room. for those who liked Run On, there are different versions of Elvis' gospel music out there. As for the House of Pain song, I will be looking for that.

i know listening to the cd will continue to remind me of this great movie.

5 out of 5 stars Elvis song.......2005-07-14

The Elvis song from movie that is not on soundtrack is Run On. Great tune! - they should have included it.

4 out of 5 stars Great value for the price.......2004-04-15

Excellent soundtrack and great price through sbcglobal.net (Amazon Marketplace). Excellent turn-around time, received item within a week.

5 out of 5 stars A real boot-tapper.......2004-01-13

I find this soundtrack almost addictive. I love John Fogerty's version of "Blue Moon Night." Eileen Rose is amazing, and Willie is a welcome old friend. Your moods can go way up and way down listening to this stuff, a cool roller-coaster ride. When I feel like two-stepping, this is what I want to listen to.

3 out of 5 stars Elvis Song.......2002-10-11

There was also an Elvis song in the movie that isn't on the soundtrack. Does anyone know the title?
