The Rise of Hedlund & Paltrow,
January 31, 2011 A Kid's Review
This review is from: Country Strong (More Music from the Motion Picture) (Audio CD)
This review is for both the standard edition of "Country Strong", and the additional music album "Country Strong : More Music from the Motion Picture"
Casting Gwyneth Paltrow as the lead in "Country Strong" may or may not have been a good idea, but she sounds spectacular on record. Most of you must have heard her lead vocals on "Cruisin'" and her lesser-known cover of "Bette Davis Eyes", but as a full-fledged country singer on this album, she really brings it. While I'm certain that country music audiences perhaps won't take too well to her (its hard to imagine someone so prim and proper singing about dusty backtown roads & whiskey, after all), Gwyneth achieved some airplay with her title track from this CD, and even though it stalled at No. 30 on the Country Songs chart, the album as a whole has been a consistent seller (someone compared it to the "Hope Floats" soundtrack, and that is a VERY reasonable comparison).

I purchased the first soundtrack and although yeah, it was good overall I was bummed because I knew there were SO many good songs from the movie that weren't on there. When I saw this came out, I was so excited and I'm happy to say, if you liked the movie and the music-this is the one to get. I am a huge fan of Garrett Hedlund's voice and I love every song he sings on this album. I think he's remarkably talented. The other songs are good too. I can tell I'm going to be listening to this over and over again!

Garrett hedlund is the real star here. His voice is perfect for these "I've lived a life of a million heartbreaks on a dusty road" songs. I have his songs on repeat since this soundtrack first came out. He really should record a country album on his own.
