 Where's Tammy? Where are the clever lines?Jan 18, 2002
By T. March Hare
I absolutely love this movie... and I loved the music in it, but they left the best stuff out. I love Olivia's songs, but there is no Tammy Wynette at all. And the quoted lines are good, but not the best. The sometimes tend toward the melancholy and the unmemorable... it's like they waited for the line after the big laugh line and included it. Buy the DVD when it comes out and Tammy Wynette's greatest hits and you'll be much more pleased.

 The greatest current country albumOct 10, 2001
A wonderful album, you can even talk about it as a must hear. Olivia Newton-John's "Sordid Lives" is amazingly great, along with her renditions of traditional hymns and a re-release of her 1994 album "Gaia" track "Trust yourself". George S. Clinton's tracks are as swell... just give it a spin and you'll knwo what I mean ...

Music from "Sordid Lives", the movieAug 03, 2005
By Hunter W. Johnston
"hwjohnston@bellsouth.net"
We used it for a comedy pantomime show to raise money for charity. We were pleasantly surprised at how many people in the audience had seen the movie and loved it. Anyone that liked the movie will enjoy the soundtrack, which includes not only many songs that were played in the background, but also some classic dialog from several scences.

 Satisfyingly eclectic collectionJun 22, 2001
By Jeff
This album showcases 2 well-known talents, Olivia Newton-John and George Clinton, as well as 2 who deserve to be. The raunchy title track, sung by Ms. Newton-John in character as a southern ex-convict, is a hoot and skewers narrow-minded small-town moral attitudes. Ms. Newton-John's rendition of Will the Circle Be Unbroken, sung here as a mournful lament as opposed to the traditional up-tempo arrangement, simply soars, as does her version of another traditional hymn, Coming Home. Trust Yourself, the closing song, written by Olivia, fits the movie's themes of self-acceptance and allows her to show that she is a talented songwriter as well as singer, and also shows that she knows how to rock. The 2 tracks by Kacey Jones, whose warm, smoky voice calls to mind Brenda Lee and k.d. lang, are pure country music at its best, as is the Bobbie Eakes tune Better a Painful Ending. George Clinton's score features country, latin, and blues-flavored pieces. "Please Don't Be Gay" is a delightfully campy concoction. Those who buy this album without having seen the movie may be a bit confused by all of the dialogue included here. It is a wonderful soundtrack if for no other reason than the presence of Olivia Newton-John's beautiful voice. It serves as a reminder that she still has one of the purest voices in the music industry and that it has been too long since we had a new CD from her. I would have rated this CD 5 stars had there been less dialogue and if the Tammy Wynette songs featured in the movie had been included.

 A Must Have, But Not a Must ListenJul 23, 2001
As an Olivia fan, I had to add this soundtrack to my collection. But after listening to it once, I have no desire to hear it again, and it's been shelved. Nevertheless, I'm glad I have it for the few Olivia tracks that are featured.
