Product Review

"Stuck in the Middle With You" and "You Never Can Tell" now induce indelible visual images that have little to do with Steealer's Wheel and Chuck Berry their respective creators. They've been co-opted (and, some might argue, corrupted) by Quentin Tarantino, arguably the most music-savvy of '90s filmmakers. The soundtrack to Tarantino's Jackie Brown is heavy on '70s R&B (Bobby Womack, Brothers Johnson, Bill Withers, Minnie Ripperton) studded with oddities (Johnny Cash singing "Tennessee Stud," a track from blaxploitation queen/Jackie Brown star Pam Grier), and snatches of hardboiled dialogue. --Steven Stolder

Summary: Jackie Brown 2010-07-22
Comment: The Music from Jackie Brown is the underlieing theme of the movie by Quentin Tarentino.
Listening to this music lets you identify with the characters from the movie and where in the movie the music is from.
You can just close your eyes and imagine what the characters are doing and their goals.
Just great.

Summary: excellent 2010-05-01
Comment: I am not quite sure how this unfolded: in the 1970s, Pam Grier made a film called Foxy Brown, which had a great soundtrack featuring the great Babara Mason.
Well, if you are going to create blaxploitation thirty years after the fact, no one can like Quintin Tarentino. Even if you watch films like Pulp Fiction, those 1970s references are packed in, more so than in the films of the era. He is obviously a student of the blowout afro and bell bottom
And it is this richness of detail that comes with the Jackie Brown soundtrack. Most directors would soup up the theme from Shaft, make some 1990s disco parody cheese, and release a forgettable score that made you realize said film maker has a cartoon notion of the Me Decade-have disco blaring in a film set in 1972, or choose the standard soul classics
But Tarentino goes down the middle with lesser known tracks by singers like Bill Withers and Bobby Womack. This stuff was all over AM radio too--it just never made it to the oldies hit parade.
Educated, smart, this soundtrack may not run neck and neck with the great 1970s scores, but for its research and taste, this is far above average\.

Summary: A Real Beautiful Mix 2008-01-31
Comment: When my mother first bought the movie, it was good even though I wasn't all that deep into music at the time. Yet the song that the film opens up to, "Across 110th Street" by Bobby Womack is an amazing song that not only captures what was taking place back then in the ghetto/urban streets, yet it still has truth in the current condition of the under privileged. The mixture of songs from Johnny Cash to psychedelic rock, is beautiful. This is a keeper for those that really just enjoy music. Oh and Brother's Johnson "Strawberry Letter #22" is off the chain!
