Customer Rating: 
Summary: Great CD
Comment: Purchased the sound track after I picked up the book and the DVD. Personal favorite.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The Garden is very good
Comment: I really enjoyed each and every song on this excellent sound track. I've read reviews that panned Clint and his daughter, but I found their versions to be as well done as some of the more notable stars featured on the the CD. Recommend both the movie and the sound track
Customer Rating:
Summary: Johnny Mercer at his best
Comment: This delightful CD, which was inspired by the movie of the same name, is a compilation of composer/singer Johnny Mercer's music by various artists. "Autumn Leaves" and "Fools Rush In" never sounded better than on this CD. Kevin Spacey does a passable rendition of "That Old Black Magic." Clint Eastwood joins the fun as he sings Mercer's "Accentuate the Positive" with his deep voice. This album will certainly make the day of all who love Jazz, the Standards and the music of Johnny Mercer.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very enjoyable music
Comment: I heard Skylark on the radio recently and remembered that I had heard in in this film. Ordered the CD and I am really enjoying the music. Clint Eastwood has a great ear for putting music in his films.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must hear for everyone
Comment: I have several of these CDs in my collection. I keep one in the car, one in the home system and one for traveling.
It is, by far, the best soundtrack I have ever encountered...

Editorial Reviews:

This Clint Eastwood vanity-project was one of the biggest box office disappointments of 1997, despite a masterful performance by Kevin Spacey, Eastwood's typically subtle direction and, to these ears anyway, one of the most satisfying collections of songs gathered in service of a film in many a year. It didn't hurt that they were all penned by the late, great Johnny Mercer (a native of Savannah, GA, the film's locale and most crucial, underrated element) and with the exception of Tony Bennett's "I Wanna Be Around" and Sinatra's classic "Summer Wind," were rendered by an all-star team of jazz players (Charlie Haden, Michael Brecker, Joshua Redman, Kevin Eubanks, Christian McBride among them) and an impressive line-up of vocalists including k.d. lang, Paula Cole, Joe Williams, Rosemary Clooney, Cassandra Wilson, Alison Krauss, Diana Krall, and Kevin Mahogany. Eastwood has long been a jazz devotee and, in recent years, eager proselytizer; this album plays like a love letter to one of his most beloved musicians and composers. --Jerry McCulley
