Argentina-born, California-based Gustavo Santaolalla helped shape the rock en Español movement by producing Mexican bands Molotov and Café Tacuba , and Colombian singer Juanes. In the late 1990s he made a switch to soundtracks, working on well-received albums for Amores Perros and The Motorcycle Diaries. His instrumental contributions to Ang Lee's tale of two cowboys in love are acoustic guitar-based and, let's face it, a bit on the sonic-wallpaper side.

The vocal tracks, on the other hand, are uniformly lovely, even if the selection of interpreters falls on the predictable side. Linda Ronstadt, Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, and Mary McBride on the soundtrack to a contemporary Western? What a shock! Still, they're all wonderful and Santaolalla wrote at least a couple of classic-sounding country ballads ("A Love That Will Never Grow Old," sung by Emmylou Harris, and "No One's Gonna Love You Like Me," sung by Mary McBride). And don't miss Teddy Thompson and Rufus Wainwright's sweet cover of Roger Miller's 1964 "King of the Road." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

4 out of 5 stars Axe Rufus Wainwright, and it would be 5 stars.......2007-06-13

This album is a mixture of the instrumental theme, which is incredibly beautiful and haunting, and some very solid country songs. I was surprised by how good the other songs were (you still have to like country music, though). There are only two songs that I don't like at all, and those are the two by Rufus Wainwright - one a cover of "King of the Road" (originally by Roger Miller). They are great demonstrations of him at his most nasal and whiny. It sounds like he is a French guy holding his nose and singing too slow. It's too bad, because they are good songs otherwise. I guess if you like him, you're golden; but I can't stand these versions. Fortunately, the rest of the disc is really good.

5 out of 5 stars Yes, it's one of the best albums I own.......2007-06-03

I listened to it over and over and over last year. Such quality all 'round.

5 out of 5 stars Brokeback Mountain.......2007-05-13

The product is what I expected. It arrived on time and in the condition advertised.

3 out of 5 stars A matter of taste..........2007-05-08

I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the music in the film, except for in the most intense of scenes. Perhaps this is why I was so, completely, disappointed with this soundtrack. I felt that if it did even half of what the film did for me it would be a worthy buy. My friends, this soundtrack is shat. It's mostly country and folk, which I am plainly not into. If you like these things then check this out - if not, turn away.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect, just like the movie..........2007-04-21

It is so wonderful, relaxing..if you`re thinking in buying...Just do it!

    4 out of 5 stars AN ALMOST 5-STAR ALBUM.......2005-06-15

    I would have given 5 stars to this compilation, had it not been for the cacophonous sounds of the opening number, DIXIE. The rest, taken from two beautiful LP's of the 60's, is simply reverent and inspiring. The orchestra plays with vivacity, the arrangements are breathtakingly elegant... close your eyes and see the fields of grain unfolding in your mind. Perhaps the most beautidul number is HOME ON THE RANGE. It is music-making at its best. The recorded sound is remarkable.

    5 out of 5 stars Carmen Dragon......."A Genious"!.......2003-08-12

    The first two LP albums that I purchased as a boy were "Americana" and "Bless This House", by Carmen Dragon and the Capitol Symphony Orchestra. Many of the songs on this album are from those two albums. His arrangements of the songs on this album are more than tremendous, they are a pleasure to listen to. This is music that will live down through the ages. Thanks to Angel Records for the remaster of these albums. I highly recommend this album to anyone with the ear for great music.

    5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Americana Arrangements.......2002-02-19

    First of all, since Amazon didn't bother listing the 16 tracks on this recording, here they are: 1.)Dixie; 2.)The Stars & Stripes Forever; 3.)My Old Kentucky Home; 4.)Home On The Range; 5.)Battle Hymn Of The Republic; 6.)The Wide Missouri; 7.)Nearer, My God, To Thee; 8.)Toyland; 9.)Aura Lee; 10.)Old Folks At Home; 11.)Turkey In The Straw; 12.)Hoe Down; 13.)Bless This House; 14.)Beautiful Dreamer; 15.)Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow; 16.)America The Beautiful. These orchestral arrangements by Carmen Dragon conducting the Capital Symphony Orchestra are very lush and beautiful. The recordings were made between 1957 and 1962, and sound astonishingly fresh and vibrant considering their age. The program is a nice mix of Americana which is hard to resist. A real sleeper that I highly recommend!

    I've been waiting for this CD for years and it's finally here. Where else can you find a collection of Kalmar and Ruby songs? If you love the movie, you'll love the soundtrack. As with all Rhino soundtracks, both the audio, art work, and liner notes quality is great. Buy it before all 2500 copies are taken...

    5 out of 5 stars beautiful old time music.......2004-07-13

    there are so many great songs sung by beautiful women-Gale robbins singing I love you so much, Arleen doll on All alone Monday, but the best is the enchanting unforgettable Thinking of you, sung by Vera Ellen, the best dancing lady ever on the screen. Sad we cant see Miss Ellen dance to the song but the wonderful scene will live in your memory. A very nice record,Also Miss Debby Reynolds does a very nice imitation of Hellen Kane on I wanna be loved by yo.

    5 out of 5 stars When looking for "the most".......2001-05-14

    A local New York professional opera enthusiast has concluded that Corelli is the most popular operatic tenor, followed by Jussi Bjoerling. But if the question is, who had the most beautiful tenor voice ever impressed upon wax, we must lift up John McCormack. Here is true bel canto which no one else has ever equalled. These two CD's contain some of the most exquisite sounds ever issued by a human throat. Let the galleries declare their enthusiasm for stentorian high C's, the real lover of great singing will find much more to their like her than in all the verisssimo arias. Listen to the two "Mefistofele" Arias (Boito) and ask yourself if they have ever since been so beautifully sung. This recording belongs in the collection of every aspiring tenor, just to remind what can be accomplished by art and perfect singing.

    5 out of 5 stars A superb McCormack collection.......2000-10-21

    If you remember hearing transfers of acoustic recordings to LP, you remember how hard it was to really connect with the music and performer through all the rumble, noise and resonance. This audio restoration is the most astonishing technical feat I have ever heard. The noise is now only a gentle background presence, not the roar of yesteryear. And even more important, it is constant in volume- in other words not a distraction. The fidelity really lets us hear what the early recording engineers really achieved. That said, what this brings to us are the performances of one of the world's greatest singers in richly emotional popular songs (and a few opera arias). There are so many of those old sentimental pieces no one could get away with recording anymore, but hold such a splendid reward for those of us who love them. John McCormack's recordings receive with this reissue the wonderful presentation they so richly deserve. Many many thanks to the label and Mr. Marston who made it possible.

    5 out of 5 stars Simply the Best.......2000-01-27

    This along with Vol. 1 is simply the best McCormack transfers available from this period. The master of the trade, Ward Marston has outdone himself this time. Waiting for Vols. 3,4,5!

    This boxed set is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. As a Purcell freak, this hits every button I have. The cast of characters include the inequitable Robert King, New College Choir, Bowman, and a host of other venerable persons. Likewise the attention to period performance of these works makes it an essential addition to the library of any serious anglophile/Musicologist etc. Now if only the Britten Realizations of all Purcell's songs could be recorded alongside the originals! You will Love this set!

    5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous virtuosity!.......2003-07-03

    I have been a fan of Emma Kirkby's for several years, and I believe this collection of early music contains some of her best work. Included are pieces in English, Italian, Latin and German by Handel, Purcell, Bach, Monteverdi, Schutz, et al. Monteverdi's "Lamento della ninfa" is simply lovely. Kirkby easily tackles the gorgeous and complex ornamentation of "The Harmony of the Spheres." The pure drama of Handel's "Armida abbandonata; Venti, fermate" is touching and tragic:

    "Winds, cease blowing,
    no, do not drown him;
    true, he has betrayed me,
    yet still I adore him."

    How many women have had similar thoughts?

    A wonderful collection, in my opinion, and truly essential for Emma Kirkby fans.

    5 out of 5 stars Classic of which Genre?.......2002-03-26

    First off....I LOVE THIS SONG! I heard it on the radio years ago and still listen to it this very day. It's just That timeless. It turns out from reading other reviewers there is an original version by a group called Eternal but I have not heard it and don't intend to because Monica's voice is so cool and she has a really good image, period. After all she did finish college and has positive messages especially on her "First Night So So Def remix." JD always does a great job at re-mixing. I just don't know what catagory of music I would put this in...it seems like a mixture of Pop, Country and R&B. There is a mixture of verses and "bridges" which makes "Angel of Mine" not your typical Pop song...so I just don't know! If you liked Angel of Mine also check out her most recent Single CD, "Just Another Girl." Can't wait for another relase from Monica!!

    5 out of 5 stars Outstanding song.......2002-01-03

    This is a hauntingly beautiful song, and Monica does an excellent job performing it. This is actually a cover of the same song that Eternal (a UK band with limited exposure in the US) did in 1997.

    5 out of 5 stars My all-time favorite.......2001-11-30

    This song is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I really can't decide what I love the most about this song - The lyrics, the melody, Monica's amazing voice - it's all beautiful. I'm all teary eyed everytime I hear it, although I've heard it for like more than million times. It's so amazing how this song can reflect just how you feel about someone that is close to you.

    5 out of 5 stars Monica is one of my favorite fans........1999-08-29

    I think that she is a great singer. I would like to meet her oneday. She has a great voice. The way she dress is very nice and neat. She is a good example for children. I realy like the type of music she sing. It don't have all that bad language. Keep up the good work Monica. P.S.''Shorty''

    3 out of 5 stars Eternal's version is MUCH better..........1999-08-13

    I just think that Eternal's version of "Angel of Mine", the version which was released FIRST, is better than Monica's version. It's not that Monica's version isn't good; it's just that Eternal's version is better...
