Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Stuff Comment: Just a blast, with lots of good energy - and it makes my wife happy! Customer Rating: Summary: beautiful music Comment: I know the songs in this movie are from cash, but I have to say I like this soundtrack very much and they sang these songs at least as good as cash. Customer Rating: Summary: A Total Find!! Comment: As close to Johnny as you can get. Some of the songs actually sound better sung by Jacquin than Johnny. Loved the film loved the CD even more!! Customer Rating: Summary: Dressed In Black In the Ring of Fire!! Comment: What a Great sound track to go with a Great movie. Phoenix and Witherspoon did fantastic jobs duplicating the voices of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. This one is headed for the history books. If you don't own this one, you need to buy it now, if not to just add to your music collection. Just Do It! Before Time Runs Out. Customer Rating: Summary: Enjoyable Comment: I've enjoyed this cd. I found the movie inspiring, so listening to the soundtrack recalls the film. Other reviews comment on how far short Phoenix & Witherspoon fall from Cash & Carter, and while this is very clear on the cd, I bought it because of my attachment to the movie. The music is lively, and allows me to engage a genre of music I normally wouldn't choose. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: This is not a review about Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon's hair. However--as any self-respecting fan knows--in country music, after proving you can pluck a guitar and carry a tune, the power of the right hairstyle is not to be underestimated. Johnny Cash, in fact, was famously vain about his locks--perhaps one of the few things he was vain about--and many a guitar store employee can attest to the fact that when the Man in Black came in to buy his special brand of guitar pick, his hair was dyed a jet black more often seen on a boy of 20 than a man of 60. In any case, Phoenix and Witherspoon's performances as Johnny and June Carter Cash succeed more in the style and hair department than in their musicality. Phoenix fares better than his co-star in reinventing the Cash mystique, and his sweet, almost earnest interpretation of "Get Rhythm" is as charming as it is honest. Unfortunately, the powerful song "Ring of Fire" is flat and wholly without the narrative pull it had when Cash sang it. And Witherspoon is simply not up to the warbling task she's faced with in singing as June Carter Cash. (To be fair, it's hard to know who would be, but the estimable Loretta Lynn or Tift Merritt would have had better luck). Carter Cash's honeyed gift with melody, and the largeness of her voice, honed over decades in live performance, is hard to replicate for even a seasoned singer, and predictably, Witherspoon falls short of the mark. It's certainly seductive to imagine that playing a figure as compelling as Johnny or June would allow an actor to channel the soul and some of the talent of the artist, but the closest this record comes is in "Cry, Cry, Cry," where Phoenix's gravelly voice offers the same sustained thrill that made Johnny Cash irresistible--to June and his fans. --Megan Halverson
