Summary: One of the best kept secrets!
Comment: This CD demonstrates the filmmaking genius of Clint Eastwood. Each song complemented the movie so perfectly. I recently bought the DVD from Amazon, watched it, and remembered everything and more that I loved about this romantic, sad movie. This is such a magical soundtrack--if people only knew!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Music
Comment: Whether you like the movie or not the assembled sound track is worth listening to in it's own right. Mellow sounds and a good selection of jazz. The title of the theme is a bit strange " Doe Eyes" only because it doesn't obviously relate to any particular scene in the movie. Unless it can be interpreted as the longing for something more both characters need in their lives. But as stated good mellow listening regardless of enjoyment of the movie.

Summary: Hartman
Comment: The real reason to get this cd and the follow up cd is to get the tracks of Johnny Hartman. I've also been trying to find tracks w/ the underrated guitarist Al Gafa; he backs Hartman on some of these tracks -- a real find. Any jazz junkie should attempt to score these two cds.

Summary: Johnny Hartman - the gold in the dross
Comment: The best thing about Clint Eastwood's 1995 tearjerker, "The Bridges of Madison County," is the soundtrack. Although most of the album (other than Eastwood's syrupy "Doe Eyes" which appears twice on the disk) is listenable, it's the recordings of Johnny Hartman that make this disk indispensable. Hartman, who has to be considered on the short list of the greatest male vocalists of all time, recorded the material heard here for the now out-of-print album, "Once in Every Life," on the Bee Hive label in 1980, three years before his untimely death at age 60. The album, a late masterpiece surpassed only by his 1963 collaboration with John Coltrane, has never been released on CD but Eastwood has done us all a huge service by releasing the entire content of the album spread out over two disks (this one and its sequel "Remembering Madison County"). Hartman's voice, a smoky baritone, is perfectly suited to the mature romantic ballads he performs here with a very complementary sextet. Hartman recorded some of the tracks, notably "I See Your Face Before Me," earlier in the mid 50s also. On the soundtrack he sings the song at a slower tempo, shading it with nuances earned over the many years he had lived with the lyrics. His renditions of the aforementioned song, "It Was Almost Like a Song" and "For All We Know" may well be the definitive versions.
This is an essential purchase for anyone who loves male jazz vocals.
