| | Sideways Soundtrack CD (6 Customer Reviews)
Composer: Rolfe Kent. Personnel: Dan Higgins, Dave Carpenter, Alex Acuña, Ron Feuer, Will Kennedy , Sideways Jazz Orchestra. Scotland-born composer Rolfe Kent (About Schmidt and Nurse Betty) doles out an effervescent jazz-laced score for Alexander Payne's winsome comedy Sideways, a character study following a frolicking trio of friends celebrating the end of bachelorhood in the region of California where wine is king. Kent's soundtrack is more like a bubbling over glass of champagne than a pinot noir. With wistful, accordion-led gems like "Los Olivos" and "Chasing the Golfers," it brings to mind the works of Yann Tiersan (Amélie) and Greencard-era Hans Zimmer. Kent fills the green valleys of Sonoma county with blurry pastels and the warm, deep reds of evening with terrific ease, painting a whimsical world of melancholy with '60s-infused beatnik motifs -- "I'm Not Drinking Any #@%!$ Merlot!" borrows the melody from "Taste of Honey" with infectious results. Sideways may not move any mountains, but it sure would make the drive through them a lot sunnier. Recommended. ~ James Christopher MongerUncut (p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 - "The seduction, making midlife seem funky, is slow, sly and as narcotic as it is nostalgic." Mojo (Publisher) (p.103) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[I]t tickles the palate like a crisp Chablis in June - not a bad thing." Sideways Soundtrack Music Sideways Soundtrack Songs Sideways Soundtrack Music Review Average Rating: (2.8 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews Was A Sheryl Crow Tune Featured In Movie? During the movie scene where all four main characters (Miles,Jack,Maya & Stephanie)go back to Stephanie's home and pair off, there is a really good song by a female vocalist playing in the background as Miles and Maya engage in small getting-to-know-you type conversation.
The singer sounds a lolt like Sheryl Crow? Is it one of her recordings? Can someone tell me the name of the artist and title name of the song regardless of who actually recorded it?
Surprised it isn't included with the soundtrack.
Most of the rest of the actual soundtrack cd's music sounds pretty bland and unmemorable though. Submitted by bucster79 (Biloxi,MS,USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.

What is the name of the song..... I too, would like to know the name of the song and the artist of the song where Miles, Jack and Mia go to Stephanies house the first time. Sounds like she is singing: "Let the wild winds blow" Submitted by monachello4 (Orange County, CA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Great album & movie! I love the movie, HILARIOUS! And the album is great too. But I could never figure out what that song was in the background at the part where Miles & Mya are back at Mya's place talking & drinking wine. It's not instrumental, someone is singing, a woman...and it's a nice song. It's unfortunately not on the soundtrack - does anyone know :(!?

Where's (what I consider) the main theme on this soundtrack? In three or four places interspersed throughout this movie (usually in the more melancholy parts...of which, let's face it, there are plenty) is a really pretty acoustic piano based theme which eventually adds an acoustic bass and adds at about 30 seconds later what I guess would to be (more or less) a woodwind orchestral part. In all honesty, I did not buy this sound track for the following reason:I have scanned the first 30 seconds of all of the songs on this soundtrack (easily done on many of the online music stores) and did not find this song anywhere. This was quite disappointing as this was the main tune I wanted to get in the CD. Again, it may be there somewhere but I couldn't find it. Submitted by Matt (Cocoa, FL) Was This Review Helpful?

| | Linda Ronstadt Adieu False Heart CD (2006)
Sideways Soundtrack
$15.05 Personnel: Linda Ronstadt; Ann Savoy; Joel Savoy (acoustic guitar, fiddle); Sam Broussard, Chas Justus (acoustic guitar); Sam Bush (mandolin); Andrea Zonn (violin); Stuart Duncan (fiddle); Krista Wilkinson (viola); Kristin Wilkinson (strings); Dirk Powell (harmonica, accordion, bass guitar); Byron House (upright bass). By the early 2000s Linda Ronstadt was galaxies away from the '70s soft rock on which she made her name. On a journey that led her deeper and deeper into American roots music she began working with traditional Cajun artist Ann Savoy (of the Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band), and the results of the collaboration can be found on 2006's graceful and beautifully measured ADIEU, FALSE HEART. The material is deep-roots folk with a strong Cajun flavor, and with top session players like mandolinist Sam Bush on board, the execution and playing is never less than flawless. Yet the arrangements ...
