Who Knew! (Owen Wilson could sing) January 7, 2005 4 out of 8 found this review helpful
"the album would have been better without the cover versions by Owen Wilson, Dan Finnerty, and Brigette Romanek. The originals are far superior."
I completely disagree ... regarding Owen's version of "Don't Give Up On Us Baby". I downloaded the original to listen to it again (it's been years) and I actually like Owen's rendition better! He really captured the simple beauty of the message .. perfectly. Hearing his voice on this album is a real delight. Don't get me wrong, I would give him a voice lesson or two if I knew him (I studied opera at U.T. and sing jazz) ... but overall, the feeling and message comes across beautifully and as usual I have become more smitten by his subtle and refreshing talent. I've even memorized a harmony part, so Owen, when you're ready, I'll be there! (with bells on my toes and everything) ;) The angel and the dreamer that sometimes plays a fool ... don't give up on us baby.
Nothing without Owen Wilson March 31, 2004 2 out of 6 found this review helpful
Most of these songs are straight off of albums you can get at almost any thrift store for a buck or less. Despite what other reviewers might have you think, the only reason to get this is for the Owen Wilson song-- it gets 10 out of 10 for hilarity.
Worth it for Owen Wilson alone April 9, 2004 2 out of 6 found this review helpful
When is Owen Wilson coming out with his own album? He's tops in my book!
Where is Eric Clapton? September 14, 2005 2 out of 6 found this review helpful
I think as a whole the soundtrack is good, but there are a couple of songs that could have been left off. Dazz and Two Dragons come to mind. Don't Give Up On Us Baby? That one stunk when David Soul sang it!! Where are Bary Mantilow, Aerosmith and, of course, Eric Clapton?
NOT ENUFF FUNK IN THE 70'S TRUNK April 8, 2004 1 out of 5 found this review helpful
I listened to this CD, and I was highly disapointed! Why? because there was not enough funk in the CD trunk. Sure they had Brick doin' Dazz (which is available on every funk CD compilation on planet Earth). However, where's the rest of it? I mean, if you're gonna have Snoop Doggy Dog in a movie, and only have 1 funk song, to me, that movie is a failure! Anyway, the reason I am writing this review is to find out about the other songs that did not make it on the soundtrack. For instance, there was 1 instrumental 70's funk track that did not make it. I am currently looking for that group / track. If anyone out there knows the rest of the songs in the movie (that did not make the CD cut) please let me know. And for the record: Leon Haywood is funky; Bill Withers is funkier, and KC & the Sunshine Band is funkiest, however, the Jackson 5 is still considered pop to me, but Dancing Machine is an extremely infectious, and funky tune. As a final note, the reason I'm giving this disapointing CD 5 stars is because I liked the aforementioned 5 songs, and musical artists. And these days if you can get 5 good funk / funky / funkier / funkiest songs on 1 CD, then you found yourself a gem!
