Average Rating: Rating: - Great Songs From the Greatest Songwriter Ever Diane Warren may hold the record for writing the most songs for movie soundtracks. It would take days to name all of the soundtracks her music is featured on. The latest one is Coyote Ugly, a movie about a young girl who, while trying to achieve her goal as a songwriter, she ends up working for a sexy night club were anything goes. Diane writes four songs on the soundtrack all sung by Leann Rimes. Of course, this isn't the first time these two have worked together, as the scored the longest running single in the history of the billboard charts with "How Do I Live." Now their trying to score another big hit, and after hearing the four songs, I'm convinced that they can. In fact I believe that this maybe some of Warren's most polished work ever starting with the first single "Can't Fight the Moonlight." The song has a very fresh, current sound that should fit nicely with the pop wave radio has been riding lately. What really caught me about this song is the imagery behind the lyrics and how it fits so well with the Trevor Horn's dynamic production of the music. They just flow so well. Leann sings this song like a pop artist singing a pop song instead of a country artist singing a pop song. I really like the way this song was arranged as it allows Leann to deliver the most creative and inventive performance I have ever heard her give. The magic continues on my favorite song "The Right Kind of Wrong." Indeed if I would have heard this song without knowing Warren wrote it, I would have never guess she did. The song has an overall pop felling to it, with an edge to it that Leann takes to the next level. The lyrics on this song are amazing, powerful in the sense that Leann sings this song like she means it. The song is produced well, as Trevor Horn gives the song a bit of a rock flavor to it, which makes it that much more appealing to listen to. The two Warren-penned ballads on the soundtrack are equally potent. "Please Remember," is a desperate cry from one lover telling the one she loves to never forget the times they spent together. Leann sings this song with grace and style, bring out the emotional weight of the lyric in her voice. Once again the production is right on the mark, with a beautiful piano leading off the song, and then a soaring string arrangement that leads to the climax of the song which is powerful, yet not to the point where the song gets to over-bearing to listen to. The other ballad "But I Do Love You" is playful in nature with lyrics like "I don't like when the rain falls on my shoe, but I do love you." It's one of the ballads that doesn't require the grand instruments or powerful vocals to get the message of the song across. It simply relies on the clever lyrics and a very laid back performance by Rimes who sings this song very well. Besides these amazing Diane Warren-Leann Rimes collaborations there are some old dance hits including one of my all time favorites "Need You Tonight" by Inxs and other hits from Snap, EMF and Don Henley. However it's truly the Rimes-Warren show on this album. These four songs are perhaps the best songs ever written for a movie. If radio chooses to ignore anyone of them in favor of some of the filth that fills the airwaves today (you all know what I'm talking about) then these are truly sad days in the music industry. Rating: - Mediocre The first four songs by Leann Rimes are nothing short of the bubblegum pop that's dominating the charts right now. If that's your gig...more power to ya. Otherwise the 90's hits by EMF and Snap were a great revival, and you can't go wrong with having "The Devil" on ANY soundtrack. However, I was extremely upset to not hear Blondie's "One Way or Another" which was a pivotal point in the movie, and equally as upset with the lack of Kid Rock's "Cowboy", which is one of the hotter Tyra Banks' scenes in the flick. I was expecting a much more rockin' cd after watching the movie. It's definately not a cd I'd play on the jukebox at a bar...I'd get laughed out of the place. Rating: - Good, but not good enough. Aren't soundtracks supposed to have songs on it that were in the movie? Ah well...Leann Rimes' songs were good. But, I do recall when she actually sang country. This new material, particularly "Can't Fight the Moonlight" and "The Right Kind of Wrong" have good beats, but they are mostly synthesized and sound like the overdone, sugarcoated pop. And four songs of hers is quite an overload. My four faves were "Unbelievable", "All She Wants to Do Is Dance", "Snap", and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". These are classic hits. Not only that, but they were played in a sleazy New York bar. That contrast makes it even better! ...Now for the cons. The other songs on the CD weren't too great. And how could they leave out "One Way or Another" by Blonde? It is a major turning point in the movie; when Violet finally gets 'accepted' into Coyote Ugly. Plus it's a great song, another classic hit. "Cowboy" by Kid Rock was also omitted. That [is bad], since it's in one of the sexiest scenes in the movie. But the biggest sin of all was forgetting "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard. By itself, this song is testosterone-driven, sexy, and impossible to listen to without dancing along. And I mean impossible. Now, imagine this song being background music to young women dancing on top of a bar, scantily clad in skintight snakeskin pants and barely-there leopard-print halter tops, drinking shots like water, pouring beer on the chests of customers, and doing more pelvic thrusts than I imagined humanly possible. Yes, all that. And they left the song out. That itself brings this soundtrack down to four stars, along with the other unfortunate omissions. The whole point of a soundtrack is to recreate scenes from the movie while you're listening to it, and this one just doesn't cut it.
