Blow (2001 Film)

Amazon.com

The first half of this soundtrack features a nice collection of Brit-rock stalwarts showing off their American influences. Theres the Santana-ish majesty of Mick Taylors guitar during the extended instrumental coda to the Stones "Cant You Hear Me Knocking" Cream, Faces, and Ram Jam all messing around with Yank blues (the latter doing unmentionable things to Leadbellys "Black Betty") even Manfred Mann doing his best to sanitize Springsteen with "Blinded by the Light." But then things start getting strange. Salsa legend Willie Rosario segues inexplicably into KC & the Sunshine Bands "Keep It Comin," while the postmodern lounge of J Girls gets to rub up against good ol boys Skynyrd and Tucker. By the time we come to Bob Dylans "All the Tired Horses," Blow has collapsed into such an oddball grab bag that the obligatory inclusion of a contemporary label hopeful, in this case Nikka Costa, isnt the least bit jarring. Then again, incoherence is the privilege of compilation soundtracks, and theres little here to send you lunging for the skip control. --Bill Forman

Customer ReviewsGreat story and fabulous actors
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
If you were ever a Johnny Depp fan, watching Blow will "blow your mind". He is really brilliant in this adaptation of a true story involving the rise and fall of George Jungs marijuana and cocaine empire. To see Johnny Depp transform from a young George Jung into a demented old man still in prison is really captivating. Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz share an attraction that is insatiable. After watching the movie, I immediately ordered the soundtrack. It is exceptional. Enjoy.

Love it!

This soundtrack has a few good songs on it, but I would have rather bought the individual tracks, rather than the whole CD.
