"The soundtrack to "Crazy Heart" is excellent! This is one of the best soundtracks of last year. All of the tracks on here are excellent! Note: There are 2 different editions to this soundtrack, this review is on the deluxe edition, which has 6 or 7 more tracks than the regular edition and it is packaged in a digipak case. I personally think that is the deluxe edition is the better version of the soundtrack.

This soundtrack has good country music

"The Crazy Heart soundtrack features great country music. I love the theme song "Weary Heart" by Ryan Bingham. His guitar playing and vocals are beautiful and soothing. I didn't know that Jeff Bridges could sing country. There is no real country singer named Bad Blake, but I can believe that Jeff Bridges is a country singing star after listening to this song. This is a fun song. Another big shock is Colin Farrell. He sings the song "Gone Gone Gone" in his role as Tommy Sweet. This is an upbeat song that knocks my socks off. Jeff and Colin duet on the song "Fallin and Flyin". This is one of the highlights on the song. Lucinda Williams lends her talents with her song "Joy". She can play the guitar like few people can. There are two versions of the track "Somebody Else". I like the instrumental guitar playing by Stephen Bruton, and I love the version with vocals by Jeff Bridges. "I Let The Freight Train Carry Me On" is a light happy tune that puts me in a good mood. The Kitty Wells song "Searching For Someone Like You" is a very pretty song. I love the music and the movie Crazy Heart very much."

Classic Music, Old and New

"T Bone Burnett, the late Stephen Bruton, and company have assembled a top notch soundtrack. Most of the songs are in the country vein, but there are ventures into blues and folk, as well. I really enjoy how the new music fits in with the classic tunes selected. There is not a weak track on here.



Of the new tracks, I agree with the other reviewers that "The Weary Kind" is a great song, but I believe my favorite is "Fallin' & Flyin'." It is simply a great, rough-hewn, voice-of-experience number.



As for the older songs, we get classic Buck Owens, Kitty Wells, Townes Van Zandt, Waylon Jennings, and the brothers Louvin and Delmore, as well as a mighty fine pick by Lightnin' Hopkins. Incredible.



I find it safe to say that Crazy Heart will stand out as one of the best releases of 2010. It's hard to beat."
