Album of the day: "Boys on the Side" OST.

     Today I would like to recommend you the album from movie "Boys on the Side" under the same title. I think - no, I'm sure - you will like this album with amazing music.

      "Boys on the Side" an American comedy-drama film from 1995 with three great actresses: Whoopi Goldberg [as Jane], Drew Barrymore [as Holly] and Mary-Louise Parker [as Robin] as three friends on a cross-country road trip.This movie is about friendship, love, secrets, values of the life, death. You have everything what you need to laugh and to cry.
      If you like a comedy-drama as "Steel Magnolias" [1989] or "Terms of Endearment" 1983, you will love this one.

    But I am here not to talk about movie, but to talk about music, great music.
 I really don't know how and why, butmost movies of years 60's - 90's had an excellent soundtracks. The same is with this soundtrack.

     On the official soundtrack album released on 1995 has only thirteen tracks performed by female artists like f.e.: Sheryl Crow, Annie Lennox, Melissa Etheridge, Joan Armatrading and Indigo Girls. It's like a collection of the best songs from 70s, 80 and 90s because of some covers of greatests hits all the time ["Magic Carpet Ride", "You got it", "Take Me To The River", "Superstar", "Mellow Yellow"]. The hit single from the movie soundtrack was Bonnie Raitt's cover of "You Got It" by Roy Orbison.

 Bonnie Raitt : You Got It
Melissa Etheridge : I Take You With Me
Sheryl Crow : Keep On Growing
Indigo Girls : Power Of Two
Stevie Nicks : Somebody Stand By Me
The Pretenders : Everyday Is Like Sunday
The Cranberries : Dreams
Annie Lennox : Why
Sarah McLachlan : Ol'55
Joan Armatrading : Willow
Jonell Mosser : Crossroads
Whoopi Goldberg : You Got It
Bonnie Raitt : You Got It

 
     As you know me it was enough for me. Why? Because the official soundtrack album hasn't everything, because this is just a little piece of all music used on the film. And that's why I crated a special playlist with 26 tracks - almost all songs from "Boys on the Side" [official soundtrack & songs not included on the official soundtrack album]. There's no "Mellow Yellow" by Tito and the Teatro Carmens, "Half And Half" by the Desert Suns, "Magic Carpet Ride" by the Boxing Ghandis, "Piece Of My Heart" by Whoopi Goldberg and "Officer And A Gentleman" by Jack Nitzsche. I added original versions of these songs at the end of the list so you can listen to these songs anyway.

You can listen to this playlist on YouTube and on spotify.
