Product Description

This is the inaugural release from Oscar-winning Quentin Tarantino's a Band Apart Records (marketed/distributed via Madonna's Maverick Records). Scheduled for a nationwide Christmas day release, Tarantino's long-awaited new film (featuring Robert de Niro, Pam Grier and Samuel L. Jackson) showcases classic '60s and '70s hits, including cuts by Bobby Womack, the Delfonics, Bloodstone and the Grass Roots. This album also contains dialogue excerpts and Foxy Brown's "(Holy Matrimony) Letter to the Firm."

"Stuck in the Middle With You" and "You Never Can Tell" now induce indelible visual images that have little to do with Steealer's Wheel and Chuck Berry their respective creators. They've been co-opted (and, some might argue, corrupted) by Quentin Tarantino, arguably the most music-savvy of '90s filmmakers. The soundtrack to Tarantino's Jackie Brown is heavy on '70s R&B (Bobby Womack, Brothers Johnson, Bill Withers, Minnie Ripperton) studded with oddities (Johnny Cash singing "Tennessee Stud," a track from blaxploitation queen/Jackie Brown star Pam Grier), and snatches of hardboiled dialogue. --Steven Stolder

Review

By all accounts Jackie Brown is a low-key film, and the same could be said for the soundtrack.... But with contributions from the Delfonics, Randy Crawford, and Bill Withers, it will certainly endure. -- What the Critics Say
