Music : Boys On The Side: Original Soundtrack Album

- Pure Pleasure
This review refers to the Original Soundtrack Album of "Boys On The Side"(CD)....
You know these strong voices, the soul reaching music, the moving words. And it doesn't really matter whether you are thinking about this album because you are so moved by the way the songs tell the tale of the deep friendship in the film, or because you have found some of your favorite performers here...this is one soundtrack in which every song stands on it's own and the words and music will touch you in some way.
There isn't one song or artist on this delicious album that dosen't belong with the others. Opening and closing with the moving "You Got It" performed by Bonnie Raitt, and with outstanding renditions of "Keep On Growing" (Sheryl Crow) and "Somebody Stand By Me" (Stevie Nicks), and including Melissa Etheridge's "I Take You With Me" and the Indigo Girls "Power Of Two", it is an album you'll want to hear over and over. I play it constantly and nobody else seems to mind!
You'll also be treated to the wonderful Annie Lennox performing "Why", The Pretenders, The Cranberries and Sarah McLachlan.(see buying info for complete list of songs and artists).And Yes!...Whoppi's touching words to her dying friend(1st verse of "You Got It"), from the film are included as well. There are 13 tracks in all.
It's a beautiful album, with which to relive the fun and the heartfelt friendships in the story of "Boys On The Side", or just for the pure pleasure of all these incredible voices and talented musicians that really have something meangful to say.
Go for it and enjoy....Laurie

- On The Side Order
In 1995, there was a whole success of movie soundtracks that actually made it in the platinum and gold status in the music industry. Largely with collections like Batman Forever and Apollo 13 making it through the stores, it just came as a big reminder of how important music is to movies, and the other way around. Still, there were only two movie soundtrack collections that only featured women in the story. One of them was Waiting To Exhale, and the other was Boys On The Side. The music brought both the old and the new into the storyline.
With Boys On The Side, there were thirteen, well actually 12 songs released in this collection that reflect both the old and the new in the music industry with female singer/songwriters. The main standout belongs to Bonnie Raitt with her cover of the Roy Orbison hit, You Got It. Actually, that is on the collection three times, twice with Bonnie Raitt, the other with Whoopi Goldberg. Still, there are also other great songs that seem to fit the bill perfectly including Annie Lennox with Why, and The Cranberries with their strong song, Dreams. The collection also includes new music from Sheryl Crow, The Pretenders, and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac fame.
Still, it is just a shame that they don't make movie sountracks like they used to. The music back then really spoke out to both sides of the story. Still, if you loved the Whoopi Goldberg film, you might enjoy the soundtrack. Otherwise, I suggest you give the soundtrack a whirl, for something new to the mind, and let the women do the talking.
Rating: - A cd I actually think I may have wore out
This is such a great cd, where do I start? It goes from rockin' blues of Bonnie Raitt. To the rock of Chrissie Hynde with The Pretenders, who I have been a long fan of. Then to the excellent voice and range of Annie Lennox, who I think has got to have one of the most wonderful voices around. Joan Armatrading, I saw her in concert many many moons ago in Germany. She was not known then in America and she was as good then as she is now.
There is not a bad song on this CD, and that says something this day and age. I plug this CD in when I need some umph to get started doing what ever I need to get done. When I need a pick-me-up get me in a better mood. Or just whenever... and want to hear some good music.
Rating: - Women all the way
One of the wonderful things about this soundtrack (in addition to the number of great songs) is the fact that almost all of the artists are female. And this is a great group of women. Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls, etc. I bought the cd for the song YOU GOT IT but now I listen to it for all of the other songs. The mix of music is great and it's always great to support women's ventures in this male-dominated world.
