After I had seen the movie of Coyote Ugly, I knew that I had to get the soundtrack. I don’t usually feel this way about getting a soundtrack, I prefer buying the artist's album as opposed to a collection of artists, I felt differently about this one somehow. A selection of the tracks were incorporated into the film, the tracks used in the film were mostly sung by Leann Rimes who has a great voice and where the number one hit ''Can't Fight The Moonlight'' derived from.
I bought the soundtrack soon after seeing the film and to my disappointment, it wasn't all it’s cracked up to be. Don’t get me wrong, the songs that are sung by Leann Rimes are great and strangely enough, all four of these songs are at the start of the album evidently showing the best of the albums tracks at the beginning. I thought that this film being all modern in feel, would have a modern sounding soundtrack, as did the matrix soundtrack. After these four songs sung by Leann, the rest are basically old hits such as ''The Power'' by Snap and ''The Devil Went Down To Georgia'' by The Charlie Daniels Band. Most of these other bands and their tracks I have never heard of, so much about being modern! Its not that these tracks are bad I suppose, It's just that they aren’t my style and they weren’t what I was expecting. The four tracks sung by Leann are the number one hit, ''Can't Fight the Moonlight'', ''Please Remember'' which is a great love type song, ''The Right Kind of Wrong'' which is my fave out of the four, it’s quite a funky track which begins with a string section opening the song and finally the track ''But I Do Love You'' which is another great track which consequently is Leann rimes' next Single to be released.
Another bad thing about this situation is that I bought Leann Rimes' new album “I Need You” which also included two of the four tracks that she sings, and had known all this before, I wouldn’t have thought twice about buying this CD as to me, it is a waste of money. This album was a Big disappointment in contrast to the film which is a classic!
