"Hearing Don Walser in the movie (good movie too), got me to buy this CD. I'm not a big-time CM fan but I do know talent and good music(there's not a genre that I haven't found music I like)... Anyway with Hank Williams, Jeff Beck-Willie Nelson, and others, you can't go wrong with this CD. Good choice for the occasional CM listener."

"I'll declare from the outset that I haven't seen the film, so I don't know if the music unfolds on the disc in the same order as it does in the film. My guess is probably not, and therefore the (much less interesting) orchestral score wouldn't drag the chain like it does on the cd - which is very much an album of 2 distinct halves. The initial block of country, country swing, "novelty" and tex/mex tracks move along very nicely until the disembodied dynamics of the orchestral movements grind towards a finale. Still, the format does make it easier to switch off after the first section, rather than skipping tracks here and there. Hey, maybe that's why the distributors did it that way. Doh!!"
