8 out of 9 found this review helpful
the song "feels like home" will hit you right where it hurts. it made me cry, and cry, and cry, and i'm not a person to cry about a song, this cd is so totally worth the money, even if you're not a country music fan, which i'm not, it still hits home with you, and trust me, you'll love it! i'm listening to it right now!
Great songs February 8, 2001
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
A great album with some terrific songs. A good mix of styles and artists. Bonnie Raitt's "Feels Like Home" is one of the prettiest songs ever. And Kenny Wayne Shepherd does a fantastic cover of the Rolling Stones "The Spider and the Fly" with the help of great blues artist James Cotton. Then there's the country smash by The Mavericks, "I don't care if you love me anymore", and Willie Nelson's take on the Satchmo classic "What a Wonderful World". And Andie MacDowell shows that she can sing just as well as she can act with "Sittin' by the side of the road". This is an album that will lift your spirits...recommended. And you don't even need to see the movie to enjoy this album...I haven't seen it.
 Soaring feel good soundtrack with poor recording quality December 10, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Top performers in all musical genres lined up to give us a great, feel-good soundtrack that's more memorable than the movie. Don Henley opens up with inspiring "Through your Hands." Another Texan, Willie Nelson, offers his own take on Louis Armstrong's, "What a Wonderful World." Overall, the music will get you on your feet and lift your spirits--and what could be more angelic than that???
 GREAT SONGS... June 27, 2003

Truly they are. But the quality of the recording is very bad. Maybe there wasn't a good job remastering the original tapes or whatever, but if you have a stereo with four or more speakers, you have to turn off them and leave only two to listen without distortion... something you pay in loudness, of course. But again, as many reviewers has said, this is the kind of stuff you might prefer to listen quietly and calmly. But anyway, no matter how soft you put the volume, three or more speakers still destroy the experience. Too bad, I like this OMS very much and I have to listen to it only in a portable CD player.

This review refers to "Michael: Music From The Motion Picture"(CD)..
The soundtrack from the film "Michael", had great music from start to finish. There were many, many songs to lift your spirits and give the precise tone of of the story. The theme of "Michael" was live life, enjoy your time while you are here.
This album does not have all the music from the movie, but there are 11 selections that probably depict some of the best and most memorable moments from the film that represent that theme.
The music that is included feels safe and warm. It will make you smile and may even inspire you to do great things! The tracks are not in the exact order from the film, but you'll love em all anyway. Included are Don Henley's inspiring "Through Your Hands", and if you have seen the film, you will remember that great scene, where Johnny T treats us to his moves, surrounded by all the women in the bar to the wonderful "Chain Of Fools" (Aretha Franklin). Bonnie Raitt's "Feels Like Home" feels great, and who could forget that lump in the throat evoking rendition of "What A Wonderful World" by Willie Nelson. Andie MacDowell's fun but touching "Sittin By The Side Of The Road" is included as well.
It's a fabulous trip down memory lane, and feel good album. Even if you haven't seen the film, you can't go wrong with this great music. Also included are Van Morrison, The Mavericks, Randy Newman, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Al Green and Norman Greenbaum. (See buying info for complete list of songs)
My only reason for going with 4 stars is that at only 38 minutes, I thought a couple more songs could have been included. The CD comes with an insert that lists the songs and artists, and also has a few pix from the film. "Sparky" the dog is also featured on the cover.
Get wrapped in Michael's big wings again and enjoy...Laurie
