FREE: MAVERICK the soundtrack *good album for country music lovers

amazon review:
Most movie soundtracks consisting of individual cuts by a range of artists tend to leave me cold but "Music from and Inspired by"
this Mel Gibson movie is an exception.For one thing there is a thematic unity with several songs having a distinctly Western -as in cowboy-slant.The album brings together a range of popular country artists from the mid nineties and well nigh all are on prime form.
Vince Gill cuts a fine version of the Band classic Ophelia which reminds us of his country rock roots as a member of Pure Prairie League ;the pairing of the great Radney Foster and the sublime Patty Loveless makes Rainbow Down the Road a paragon of aching loveliness while Hal Ketchum's song Solitary Traveller is so redolent of the wide open spaces and the call of the far horizon it sounds like a traditional ballad rather than the self penned wprk that it is.
Fine cuts from Carlene Carter ,Tracy Lawrence ,the great Waylon Jennings and Confederate Railroad among others sustain the high level of quality while the version of Amazing Grace by the Maverick Choir restores a quality to the song often lacking -joy.Taken at a brisk tempo it should bring a smile to most faces and cause even hardened atheists to think again

I have this cd, and I love it!
