EXTD=\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Folks, let's get one thing straight. The at-
EXTD=times charmingly bad, humorous, or excellent soundtrack to Robert
EXTD= Altman's groundbreaking and influential Nashville isn't to be ta
EXTD=ken at face value throughout. There's a blizzard's chance in Tull
EXTD=ahoma County that you'll get a proper grip of it without context 
EXTD=of the film itself. The film is a vivid look at the cult of celeb
EXTD=rity and power, tracing the actions of a couple dozen characters 
EXTD=throughout five days in the country music capital. With numerous 
EXTD=performances by these figures that go hand-in-hand with the envir
EXTD=on, the film is just as much a musical as it is a realistic slice
EXTD= of southern America, circa 1974. -- Andy Kellman \n\nAs much of 
EXTD=the performances captured in the film are by local amateurs, the 
EXTD=material isn't always top level. That's why it succeeds -- it's r
EXTD=ealistic. As the director himself assesses in the liner notes to 
EXTD=the MCA Nashville reissue from 2000, "We weren't trying to write 
EXTD='great' songs. We aimed to meet the spectrum of songs coming out 
EXTD=of the Nashville scene." Spectrum is the key word here - the qual
EXTD=ity of the material and the range of emotions within are extremel
EXTD=y broad. Lonesome lives on the road, extramarital affairs that ne
EXTD=ed to be severed, romantic longings, national pride, self-assuran
EXTD=ce -- just about any topic tackled within a typical country song 
EXTD=is covered. Most of the songs were written by the actors with the
EXTD=ir characters in mind, which adds more of that necessary realism.
EXTD= The musicianship is excellent and fitting, including the work of
EXTD= legendary session hands like Vassar Clements, David Briggs, and 
EXTD=Weldon Myrick.\n\nConvincing performances come from Henry Gibson,
EXTD= in the role of star Haven Hamilton. (Gibson is also well-known a
EXTD=s a gravity-defying Illinois Nazi in The Blues Brothers.) He cuts
EXTD= his lover loose in "For the Sake of the Children," giving her th
EXTD=ree reasons - Jimmy, Kathy, and sweet Lorelei; "Cause Jimmy's bee
EXTD=n wishin' that I take him fishin'; his Little League pitchin' is 
EXTD=somethin' to see." His "Keep A-Goin'" is a sure-fire mood lifter:
EXTD= "Ain't no use to sit and whine 'cause the fish ain't on your lin
EXTD=e; bait your hook and keep a-tryin' - keep a-goin'!" Other excell
EXTD=ent performances are turned in by Karen Black and Keith Carradine
EXTD=, whose "I'm Easy" won an Academy Award for Best Song. Nashville 
EXTD=is a fine elixir in an age of soundtrack-before-plot movies and a
EXTD=nd a hoot to boot. \n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nJust as great

EXTD=c...., August 6, 2006\nReviewer: Grigory's Girl "Grigory's Girl" 
EXTD=(NYC)\nI usually don't buy soundtracks, but I have this one. I lo
EXTD=ved the film (it's my favorite Altman film), but this CD really i
EXTD=s something special. All 13 songs (there are more in the movie, s
EXTD=o it's not a complete soundtrack) are absolutely wonderful, and s
EXTD=eem much more real and soulful than almost all current country ar
EXTD=tists. Many critics said that no one on this album could sing, bu
EXTD=t they were fools. Keith Carradine's contributions, It Don't Worr
EXTD=y Me and I'm Easy, are the greatest songs on this album. Henry Gi
EXTD=bson's For the Sake of the Children is poignant and heartbreaking
EXTD=. Karen Black's Rolling Stone sounds like it could have been sung
EXTD= by Patsy Cline in her prime (Black is no Cline, but no one could
EXTD= touch Patsy). Ronee Blakely's songs are wonderful as well. One s
EXTD=mall complaint, I just wish they would release a version with all
EXTD= the songs. Lily Tomlin's Yes, I Do is noticably missing. Aside f
EXTD=rom that, it's still fantastic....\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\n
EXTD=Cornball but Good, September 14, 2004\nReviewer: 70's Child "Musi
EXTD=c Lover" (Wylie, TX United States)\nIts a rare thing for me to fi
EXTD=nd a CD that has every song I like. "Memphis" is a hoot as Karen 
EXTD=Black tries without success to hit that high note at the end "som
EXTD=e MOOOOOORRRRRREEEE"; "My Idaho Home" is a lot like "Coal Miner's
EXTD= Daughter". Ronnee Blakely has a beautiful voice. "I'm Easy" is v
EXTD=ery good. I hear that one alot on a 70's station I listen to. "Bl
EXTD=uebird" is very good and Tim Brown who sings it sound a lot like 
EXTD=Charley Pride. The duet between Haven Hamilton and Barbara Jean i
EXTD=s very good, very catchy and easy to sing along with. The version
EXTD= of "It Don't Worry Me" sung by Barbara Harris just touches my he
EXTD=art with her soaring vocals. Sure, its not for everyone but its f
EXTD=or me.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nOh, so fun, March 29, 2001\n
EXTD=Reviewer: Edward Aycock (New York, NY United States)\nThis is one
EXTD= of the greatest films Altman made, as well as possibly being one
EXTD= of the most American movies ever made. Therefore, what a relief 
EXTD=to finally see the soundtrack available on CD. I suspect that thi
EXTD=s is a remastering of the original vinyl soundtrack which explain
EXTD=s the absence of some of the songs. (The Gwen Welles songs were s
EXTD=o terrible, but in a good, kitschy way... why aren't they here?) 
EXTD=But the songs that are on here go from the deliberately hokey (He
EXTD=nry Gibson), to quite touching (Ronee Blakely...) And it's always
EXTD= fun listening to Karen Black try (and fail) to reach the low not
EXTD=es in her song "Memphis" (which I find myself humming all the tim
EXTD=e despite myself). But the crowning glory is "I'm Easy" by Carrad
EXTD=ine, and Barbara Harris' exuberant, "It Don't Worry Me" which end
EXTD=s this album on a high. Much more than a time capsule, if you're 
EXTD=a fan of the movie, this is a soundtrack you'll want to have.\n\n

EXTD=ates)\nAs a musician working in Chicago during the 70's, our town
EXTD= shared both recording engineers and musicians with Nashville so 
EXTD=I can testify to it's accuracy. Musically, I find NASHVILLE to be

EXTD=Blakely rules!, October 14, 2000\nReviewer: Ian Burley (MONTARLOT
EXTD= FRANCE)\nAt last, here on CD, the soundtrack of one of my favour
EXTD=ite films of all time. I still remember the shock I had on seeing
EXTD= "Nashville" for the first time on TV a few years after its initi
EXTD=al release - the great performances, magnificent storytelling and
EXTD= innovative style knocked me out. I was able to see the movie aga
EXTD=in just a few years ago on the big screen and was delighted to se
EXTD=e that it hasn't aged. But I couldn't get my hands on the soundtr
EXTD=ack. But now here it is, as wonderful as all the rest. The songs 
EXTD=stand the test of time as well as the film and there are plenty o
EXTD=f jewels here - the magnificent "It Don't Worry Me" in both versi
EXTD=ons, Keith Carradine's Oscar winner "I'm Easy", Karen Black's cut
EXTD=e contributions and Henry Gibson's "200 Years" (interesting to se
EXTD=e that another reviewer views this as a patriotic song. Personall
EXTD=y, I've always found it brilliantly and satirically funny). But t
EXTD=he real stand-out is Ronee Blakely. Her songs and voice are absol
EXTD=utely magnificent. It's high time some enterprising company re-re
EXTD=leased her solo album(s) because, apart from her backing vocals o
EXTD=n Dylan's "Hurricane", the "Nashville" soundtrack seems to be the
EXTD= only recording available on CD of this magnificent lady's work.\n
EXTD=\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nFinally!, September 12, 2000\nRevie
EXTD=wer: Jan Lisa Huttner (Chicago, Illinois USA)\nI'm delighted to s
EXTD=ee that NASHVILLE is finally available on CD, just in time for it
EXTD=s 25th anniversary. There are several terrific songs on this albu
EXTD=m & they can't be found anywhere else. (The recent PREMIERE artic
EXTD=le published in July describes Ronee Blakely's distress when she 
EXTD=learned that she was contractually forbidden from releasing her o
EXTD=wn cuts on a personal album.) I do agree though that people who h
EXTD=aven't seen the film may find the soundtrack "uneven." But since 
EXTD=this is one of the greatest films of the '70's, the solution is s
EXTD=imple: see the film AND buy the soundtrack!\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOME
EXTD=R REVIEW\nAbsolutely essential for fans for the film, July 15, 20
EXTD=00\nReviewer: Jay Dickson (Portland, OR)\n"Nashville" may be the 
EXTD=single most praised American film of the last fifty years, and a 
EXTD=large part of that has to do with the film's songs. Altman's poin
EXTD=t in his enormous 1975 narrative of three days in the nation's co
EXTD=untry-music capital is that popular culture can unify and move a 
EXTD=people at times when there is no other basis for a national colle
EXTD=ctive identity; his ingenious stroke in using country music--one 
EXTD=of the most ridiculed and yet "American" subgenres of cultural ex
EXTD=pression--for the basis of that unification necessitated powerful
EXTD= and moving songs from his cast (who were individually encouraged
EXTD= to come up with their own melodies and lyrics).\nAt times, Altma
EXTD=n's cast members let him down somewhat: as many below complain, "
EXTD=200 Years," for example, is a very unpleasant song to listen to, 
EXTD=and one wonders why someone didn't step in to tell Karen Black to
EXTD= end the phrase "...help me keep from slidin' down some more" in 
EXTD="Memphis" an octave higher, since she cannot reach that final low
EXTD= note. Still, the treats on this album are incredible, from Keith
EXTD= Carradine's charming solo on "I'm Easy" to the great Broadway ac
EXTD=tress Barbara Harris's no-holds-barred rendition of "It Don't Wor
EXTD=ry Me," which closes the film.\n\nBut the real reason which makes
EXTD= this album a must-have is the presence of Ronee Blakely, the mos
EXTD=t gifted singer and songwriter in the film (and whose great chara
EXTD=cter, the fragile but much-loved Barbara Jean, is considered simi
EXTD=larly talented by the film's characters). Blakely's gorgeous song
EXTD=s remind us what popular culture is capable of stirring within us
EXTD=, and from the infectious "Tapedeck in His Tractor (The Cowboy So
EXTD=ng)," with its catchy beginning riffs, to the melancholy "Dues," 
EXTD=to the sad soaring duet "One, I Love You," every song she sings i
EXTD=s almost transcendently beautiful. Best of all is her great last 
EXTD=song which ties the whole film together, "My Idaho Home," her per
EXTD=sonal salute to the American dream of an innocent past which seem
EXTD=ed both to haunt and elude the American people at the height of W
EXTD=atergate. This album is worth owning just for that song alone.\n\n
EXTD=AMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nHit and Miss, July 7, 2000\nReviewer:
EXTD= Thomas Magnum (NJ, USA)\nRobert Altman has directed many great m
EXTD=ovies, but Nashville is his masterpiece. It intertwines the stori
EXTD=es of 24 characters in the city of Nashville. The main themes of 
EXTD=the movie are poltics and music. Altman had the great idea to hav
EXTD=e the actors in the movie write and sing their own songs. This mo
EXTD=ve makes for some interesting listening, but it also what prevent
EXTD=s the album from being truly great. Keith Carradine, who is a som
EXTD=etime musician, won an Oscar for his hauntingly beautiful "I'm Ea
EXTD=sy" and also contributes the outstanding "It Don't Matter To Me" 
EXTD=which opens and closes the album. Henry Gibson represents the oth
EXTD=er side of the coin. Although you wouldn't expect it, his voice i
EXTD=s decent. His songs like "Keep A Goin'" & "For the Sake Of The Ch
EXTD=ildren" are humorous in the context of the movie, but they really
EXTD= don't stand up on their own. That is what happens with the rest 
EXTD=of the album. Some of tracks, like Ronee Blakey's "Tapedeck In Hi
EXTD=s Tractor", stand up on their own and others don't. If you loved 
EXTD=the movie, you will want this disk for your collection as it has 
EXTD=long been out of print and never released on compact disk before.
EXTD= Non-fans may want to see the movie first before purchasing this 
EXTD=one.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nGreat way to remember the cla
EXTD=ssic film, July 2, 2000\nReviewer: A music fan\nBeing a NASHVILLE
EXTD= lover I was eager to get the soundtrack when I heard it was bein
EXTD=g released. Altman's film is undoubtedly one of the fifteen best 
EXTD=films of all time and the music is a great way to recall fond mem
EXTD=ories of it. As Altman has said, the music was meant to capture b
EXTD=oth the good and bad music put out by country singers of the 1970
EXTD='s. Indeed, there is good (My Idaho Home, I'm Easy, It Don't Worr
EXTD=y Me) and bad (200 Years, anyone?) but all of it is great, in my 
EXTD=opinion. HOWEVER I have a protest. Easily my favorite song of the
EXTD= film--my favorite MOMENT of the film--was the final sequence in 
EXTD=which Barbara Harris seizes the microphone on the stage of the po
EXTD=litical rally and leads the entire crowd in a seemingly endless r
EXTD=endition of "It Don't Worry Me." Her voice, though unprofessional
EXTD=, was seething with emotion and the entire sequence gleamed with 
EXTD=energy, beauty, and spirit--the perfect note on which the end the
EXTD= film. I bought the CD almost totally for that song. But the song
EXTD= on the CD is a studio recording of Harris singing, not the origi
EXTD=nal material from the film. This was a huge disappointment since,
EXTD= though still a good song, it lacked the spontanaeity, energy, an
EXTD=d urgency that it possessed in the film.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER
EXTD= REVIEW\nGreat soundtrack for the movie -- but on its own?, June 
EXTD=26, 2000\nReviewer: A music fan\nNashville is a great film and th
EXTD=ese songs work wonderfully for it. But can anyone remotely in sym
EXTD=pathy with the film's sweeping satirical look at the profound med
EXTD=iocrity of the American body politic, and its reflection in count
EXTD=ry music, really bear to listen to the soundtrack out of context?
EXTD= Just thinking about a song like "200 Years" makes me cringe -- a
EXTD= feeling to be savoured at the cinema, where the moment of the so
EXTD=ng's delivery is funny and absurd and poignant all at the same ti
EXTD=me, but not at home, please God.\nThe very thought of people tapp
EXTD=ing their toes gleefully to this soundtrack makes me queasy, and 
EXTD=I can't believe Altman and the other creative forces behind the f
EXTD=ilm don't feel the same way.\n\nI know they are trying to push th
EXTD=e film on DVD and maybe on limited re-release to mark its 25th an
EXTD=niversary, but the soundtrack strikes me as an incongruous triump
EXTD=h of marketing over good sense.\n\nRent the movie, or better stil
EXTD=l go see it at a revival house. Listen to this only if you dare.\n
