About Various Artists - Soundtracks - Hope Floats: Music From The Motion Picture
Though it follows a standard movie formula and predictable plot twists, the film Hope Floats is saved in part by the above-average performance of Sandra Bullock, portraying a separated woman who finds her way back to her hometown in Texas, daughter in tow. The soundtrack seems to follow in due course, a collection of country and rock (thanks to the Rolling Stones) acts adding shades of twang to songs that, for the most part, all sound fairly familiar. The duds of the bunch, Bryan Adams's "When You Love Someone" and Sheryl Crow's "In Need," are saved in large part by some surprise keepers, courtesy of Garth Brooks, the Mavericks, and Gillian Welch. The covers are interesting enough. Brooks's take on Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love" is modest and pithy and a far cry from the overblown Trisha Yearwood performance of the same tune that codas the collection. --Jason Verlinde Amazon.com

I paid extra to get a copy of this CD that was described as "Like New." The CD plays fine, but the case was nasty and broken. It would have made a much better impression to spend the small amount it costs to replace the case before shipping.
May 8, 2008The "Hope Floats" soundtrack is a very soothing and romantic CD. It's great listening to while relaxing. There's a variety of Artists and some really fun songs!

Good music, starting with Garth and ending with Tricia, sprinkled with Bryan Adams, Deana Carter, Sheryl Crow, Lyle Lovett, The Mavericks, Lila McCann, Jonell Mosser, The Rolling Stones, Bob Seger in a duet with Martina McBride, Gillian Welch, and Whiskeytown....Birdie's's feelings set to music.

This was not the soundtrack that I wanted. I wanted the soundtrack with the Garth Brooks song on it and some of the other more recognizable songs from the movie - not instrumentals. I was really disappointed and will continue to try to find the soundtrack I want.
March 8, 2007I thought that this was the actually songs from the movie....not the score. Nice, but not sure who wants to listen to random movie scores.
