Summary: Great film poor soundtrack CD
Comment: Film was great with excellent performances by Phoenix and Witherspoon but the soundtrack CD is very
disappointing. Production second rate, producing poor quality sound. I suggest that you save your
money and buy one of the great Johnny Cash albums that are out right now.

Summary: Great film - poor soundtrack
Comment: Walk The Line is a great film with excellent performances by the stars. The soundtrack CD when
separated from the film is very poor. Sound quality is well below normal standards, production bad.
If you want to hear great performances by Johnny Cash just buy the latest collection CD. You will
not be sorry that you did, you will be if you buy the Walk The Line CD. Enjoy the movie - its great.

Summary: Stop thinking about it, just buy it!
Comment: I unashamedly loved this film and it's music, sung by the stars themselves. Of course it has opened
me and many others up to the delights of Johnny Cash and June Carter, but get this CD if you want to
remember the wonderful acting performances of Joaquin and Reese, and their chemistry on screen.
It's true Time's A Waistin' isn't on here but don't let that deter you - after a couple of listens
you'll forget and enjoy the CD as is. The Jerry Lee Lewis cover is good but the other songs not
sung by Joaquin and Reese aren't very inspiring I think. Luckily these two stars have enough vocal
charisma and talent to carry off the whole album themselves, and you don't feel short-changed. They
do all this yet you still believe it's Johnny and June, it really captures their spirit. You won't
regret it!

Summary: Walk The Line Soundtrack
Comment: This is a excellent soundtrack to accompany the movie "Walk the Line", a biopic of the life and
music of Johnny Cash.

Leading the songs on the album are Joaquin Phoenix who plays the part of
Johnny Cash and Oscar Award Winning Reese Witherspoon who plays Cash's second wife June Carter. It
also features songs by american superstar Tyler Hilton (Elvis Presley), Waylon Malloy Payne (Jerry
Lee Lewis) and Johnathan Rice (Roy Orbison).

As I am not a fan of the original Johnny Cash or June
Carter I am slightly biased when I say that this soundtrack is better than the original material.
But then again I believe this is a fair comment. The sound quality of the backing instruments is, of
course, a much better standard than the original material. But what I also love is the tone and
texture of the lead's vocals. Phoenix has a lovely, soulfilled voice, and has a breathtaking tone to
his voice. On the track "I walk the line", Pheonix's vocals really show off as he hits really low
notes. Personally for me, Pheonix sets a high standard for male singers to reach, one which alot of
them fall far from in the todays world where popular music is all about falsettos and cute
harmoneys.

As for Reese Witherspoon, she just shows off a brillient voice on her two track
"Wildwood Flower" and "Juke-Box Blues". She's expressive, emotive and full of country soul. I think
she's brillient. I also truely admire her harmonies with Pheonix on their duets, where she sings
some reletivly complex harmonies.

As for the three others, again impressive performances. For me,
Hilton was not a particularly good Elvis, he's a bit too weak vocally, but what he does he does
well. Paynes role as Jerry Lee Lewis is brillient. He sings "Lewix Boogie" and just impersonates
Lewis perfectly in the way he sings "Louisiana" and "Piano". It's excellent.

For Cash fans, this
album may be a bit too disimular for their liking, but for me as a new Cash fan, I truely love this
album. I would recommend it to anyone!

10 out of 10 for this soundtrack

Summary: FaNtAsTiC!!!!
Comment: One of the best soundtracks I have ever bought, and I have many! The songs are perfectly recorded
and the CD quality is amazing - forget what others say because they probably got a faulty CD. Buy
this CD and you won't regret it.

Even though it doesn't have 'Time's A Wastin' on it, it doesn't
matter as 'It Ain't Me Babe' and the amazing 'Jackson' are provided on it. It includes Jerry Lee
Lewis' number 'Lewis Boogie', Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Waylon Jennings.

However, if you
bought this soundtrack and a Johnny Cash album. I promise you that you would not be able to tell
the difference - I found it really difficult to!

Anyway, I loved the movie, loved the acting, love
the soundtrack, c'mon Oscars!
