I've never seen music get a movie so wrong before. I don't think this film was supposed to be a Chick Norris action flic or cheesy porno, but that's the feeling the music kept pushing me to. The dramatic electric guitar solos were just TOO much. Tears in Heaven at the end was fine tho.

Most of the music I heard was very appropriate for the time the movie takes place(1970s as i recall) so you might have felt that way about the music but it was actually very right for the film. What would you have preferred? None of the music is something i would regularly listen to - but i dont think it ruined the movie.

"None of the music is something i would regularly listen to - but i dont think it ruined the movie."
ALL of it was music I listened to on a regular basis back then,and I still listen to it sometimes. If you were alive in the 70's and even remotely around the drug and biker culture,this was what you heard. -

AMEN
The acting is stellar all around, but the soundtrack adds that element needed to pinpoint this movie in time. The background soundtrack performed by EC was absolute perfection, it focused the emotional impacts perfectly and that is what an excellent soundtrack should do.
PERIOD
I am now exhibiting extreme control to NOT critique the person who started this post

Are we all talking about the same movie? the music made this movie even better then it already was. that music is awesome. Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton- great. I love Wang Dang doodle in the beginning- the whole thing.

An ABB song would have been great-Whipping Post. I think the music was really good in this movie and that was my era. I especially enjoyed the Johnny Winter version of Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo-perfection!

This movie was filmed in 90/91 and was supposed to take place in 74. What other music could they have used here, did you expect grunge or pop? You might not be a fan of the music from that era but this was exactly what they should have used. Personally I thought the music was perfect.

There were basically two types of music played in bars in the 70's. Blues and disco.
Disco was never big in redneck or biker bars,although it would have been very entertaining to watch what would have happened if somebody tried.
