U Turn: Music From The Motion Picture
Say what you want about Oliver Stone'sU Turn(we know, it probably won't be nice). Call it gory, call it derivative, call it a waste of time. But check out the soundtrack. Musically,U Turn, is a great collection of country classics, coda'd by a memorable Ennio Morricone score. Of course, most of these tunes merely serve as cheery background music to contrast the violence found in the film's scenes. Cuts by Peggy Lee, Webb Pierce, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and Ricky Nelson all give the disc a Southwestern mood. Give it a listen; as long as you're not headed to Superior, Arizona, it makes for a fine record to take on the road.--Jason Verlinde
