"This is a great disk. One I always take with me. Nice variety, all pretty laid back type of music. I originally bought it for the Zombies cover "She's not there". Many of the songs it contains are not actually in the movie. They are songs from which the director derived inspiration or that Samuel L Jackson hummed during the movie. Fortunately, that means they're on the disk because they are good music not just good background music for a film. Speaking as someone without much knowledge of the genre I enjoy the blues tracks which constitute a large portion of the disk but it also contains, hip hop, rock, and pop rock. A definite crowd-pleaser."
Missing too many songs

"Along with "Not talking about the linen" and "Free" by Tracy Bonham it's also missing the Xmas song too. "It's Christmas time Pretty Baby" It sounds like Elvis, but I'm not sure. But at least it has Lady Marmalade and Manish Boy. Maybe they needed a second CD."

"Great compilation CD, however its lacking a key song in the movie. When they are in the car and Samuel L. Jackson is singing along to the radio "I'm not talkin' bout the linen" and Geena Davis corrects him. Does anybody know the name of this song? The artist? Or if it is on any other 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' compilations?"
One of the best film soundtracks out there

"Alan Silvestri composed the theme music and it's terrific (he did the Lara Croft movies and Cast Away). Secondly, this is practically the only place you can find the quirky gems of Los Angeles-based musician, GUS (aside from his cover of Don't Fear the Reaper on the original Scream soundtrack).Thirdly, the credit-roll song, "Woman" is a stunner; a sort of neo-Bond song soaked in the blues.And finally, the rest of this disc is an ecclectic tribute to the blues. It is top-notch, top-drawer, the best, the apex!"

"This may be a little late for anyone who cares, but the song is I'd Really Love to See You Tonight by England Dan & John Ford Coley. It was first out in 1976. I have it on the Rhino collection Super Hits of the 70's: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 18. As for the movie, it's great. I watch it every Christmas, along with those other Christmas classics, Lethal Weapon and Die Hard."
