ALMOST FAMOUS won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.

Long before he became a world famous director, Cameron Crowe cut his teeth on the road as a teenage reporter for Rolling Stone magazine. In his fourth directorial role, Crowe uses this personal experience to create a fictional account of his real-life adventures. In co-producing the accompanying soundtrack with partner Danny Bramson, the acclaimed filmmaker loads up on '70s heavy hitters without going for obvious song choices.

Classic rock fans can salivate over The Who ("Sparks"), Lynyrd Skynyrd ("Simple Man") and Rod Stewart ("Every Picture Tells A Story") along with lesser-known names like Thunderclap Newman ("Something In The Air") and the Seeds ("Mr. Farmer"). One of Crowe's more notable feats was using a relationship with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (dating back to his teen years) to convince them to license a Led Zep song ("That's The Way") to a soundtrack for the first time ever. Other treats include a 1972 live version of David Bowie covering "I'm Waiting For The Man" and the Beach Boys' 1971 psychedelic nugget "Feel Flows." Also included is wife Nancy Wilson's Donovan-like instrumental "Mr. Trumble" and cock-rock stomper "Fever Dog" by Stillwater, the fictional band at the center of ALMOST FAMOUS.

Beach Boys,Simon & Garfunkel, David Bowie,Stillwater,YesUncut (2/01, p.91) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...[As] loveable as the movie....ALMOST FAMOUS cruises along on a well-judged, left-of-the-canon, nostalgia vibe..."

5 stars Almost Famous IS Fabulous!
If you grew up in the late 60s/early 70s as I did, then this movie no-doubt struck a chord with you that is still reverberating today. The same is true with the film's soundtrack. Unfortunately, the audio CD has but a handful of the music that defined that 4 year period 1969-1973. It's too bad that Cameron Crowe didn't release a 2 disc set, there was certainly no shortage of material. Despite the shortage tunes, what is on this CD is great and I recommend it to anyone who "came of age" in the early 70s or who simply enjoyed the music in the movie, but it's too short! There's so much more to the era, the movie tripled the CD in artists representated. I give it a 5, but it should have been longer!

4 stars "light a candle while u listen to this & ul see the future"
This album has an underlying optomism about it. the songs are memorable and do such justice to the film. as a new generation "baby" i was surprised to find that i love the tracks this album has to offer. these are the songs my parents listened to- and they are definitely gifts to the ears- considering the new age backstreet boys and good charlotte e are exposed to. not to mention- lyrics that actually mean something. i believe that it was said by the sister: "it's poetry" and before departing: "it will set you free". so true! a must!

Awesome Soundtrack, But I Defenitely Agree 2 Disc Set Would Have Made It Killer! A Few Of My Favourites Are Missing...Like Zeppelins Misty Mountain Hop, and Elton Johns Mona Lisas and Madhatters
