I'd give it a 6 if I could

"This soundtrack is like your favorite mix tape that you've tested on many a road trip. Starting off with Sam Bush's (impressive) rendition of Little Feat's "Sailin' Shoes," to a nice continuous smattering of Taj Mahal, this album is littered with great artists and tunes primarily (but not exclusivly) from the '70s. The brothers who wrote & directed this flick recently came out with the excellent Widespread Panic documentary "The Earth Will Swallow You" if that gives you an impression of the flavor of this soundtrack."
Best Soundtrack I've EVER owned.

"A friend of mine happened to know the guys who made this film and owned the soundtrack, which I fell in love without ever having seen the movie. The Taj Mahal and Jonathan Edwards tracks are incredible. If you've never seen the movie, it might be worthwhile for you to but the soundtrack is a MUST."

"My brother-in-law saw this film then sent me the CD for Christmas, knowing that I like blues, cool grooves, and a little bluegrass. This has it all. It's the perfect cd for a roadtrip, rafting down a river, raking leaves, whatever. Taj Mahal is amazing, of course, and he wrote new material just for the film which is about a guy who rides around Colorado with a pig on a motorcycle. The reggae "Sunshine on My Soul" is my favorite, but there is also a track by John Martyn that tells a gorgeous story. I'm so glad I have this CD- it's definitely feel-good music- I've already given it to 3 other people as gifts and they love it as much as I do. Buy it! You won't be sorry, I promise!"
