The Prince Of Egypt: Nashville [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com
With an impressive roster from the country-music spectrum, the Nashville CD of music inspired by Prince of Egypt works as a compilation itself, if not as a compendium of the film. Fortunately, with a couple of exceptions, the producers steered away from "country pop" acts and concentrated on vocal talents like Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, and Wynonna. Wynonna's "Freedom" is a pleasant gospel workout, and Krauss's folky "I Give You to His Heart" is perhaps the compilation's best track, though Charlie Daniels's "Could It Be Me" is an upbeat frolic that actually has more of a feel for the film than any other track on the disc. "Make It Through" is a nicely written song, but Randy Travis isn't the man to sing it--his slow vocals seem outmatched by the upbeat song, and there isn't much flow. A handful of the tracks are overly sentimental, but, for the most part, this is a pleasant listen. --Aaron Tassano

Entertainment Weekly
It's not accidental that the best numbers echo the Moses story--particularly Alison Krauss' tender "I Give You to His Heart" and Beth Nielsen Chapman's gorgeous "Godspeed."...

BEAUTIFUL.......2005-05-11

I can't believe that none of these songs were ever on the radio. Now I am a young African-American woman, the first time I heard this cd I fell in love with country music. I would recommend anyone to buy this cd.

This CD is astonishing.......2005-01-15

I used the Faith Hill song "Somewhere down the road" for my infant daughters funeral who was born stillborn. We love the whole CD.

The songs are terrific.......2004-07-27

I had an opportunity to purchase this CD while on vacation in Nashville, and it's fabulous. I listen to it over and over and never tire of it. Since I didn't see the movie, I don't know how this collection stacks up to the original sound track, but it really doesn't matter -- I like pop/country and all the songs are great and well performed!

Somewhere Down The Road - Grant's is better than Faith's.......2003-10-25

If you like Somewhere Down The Road on here, you should check out Amy Grant's version... Grant sang it first and co-wrote it, it's on her "Behind The Eyes" album, and was released on Christian radio as a single back in '97. Faith's is pretty good, but a bit overdone and oversung, Grant's is perfect, check it out! Faith also sang another song that Amy wrote, although I'm not sure what it is.

A fine soundtrack album.......2003-03-31

Three different soundtrack albums were released for the movie Prince of Egypt, so although I did not see it, I guess that there was a lot of music in it. This soundtrack focuses on the country recordings, showcasing many different aspects of country music as it was at the time. Although (as far as I know) all songs were specially recorded for the album, some have since appeared on individual albums by the artists.

If you are familiar with any of the featured singers, you will not be surprised at anything here, as each of them adopts their usual style. Your favorite tracks are therefore likely to depend on who your favorite singers are. I particularly like the duet featuring Randy Travis and Linda Davis and the tracks featuring Alison Krauss, Pam Tillis, Vince Gill and Reba McEntire, but every track is wonderful.

This album also marked the recording debut of Jessica Andrews. Her song, I will be there for you, was one of the singles from the album and was also included in her own debut album, Heart shaped world. All the other artists were already established names.

This is a very interesting soundtrack, well worth tracking down.
