Product Description
From Amazon.com
It's said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But in scoring Jay Russell's tear-jerking adaptation of author Willie Morris's heartfelt memoirs of his loving boyhood pooch, William Ross wisely avoids any musical trickery, relying instead on a sentimental score that coaxes, cajoles, and tugs at the heartstrings with dignity and grace. Decidedly traditional, if not necessarily old-fashioned, Ross does a fine job of evoking the humor and pathos--and just a little bathos--inherent in the story, using an American orchestral palette and pastoral sense that echo Randy Newman's Pleasantville, and that's not a bad neighborhood at all. --Jerry McCulley

Excellent!!!,
By moviescore1 "Matt" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Dog Skip (Audio CD)
I can't say enough good things about this score. Right from the start you will notice a similair style to Forrest Gump, but considering Ross was the orchestrator on Gump, it's no wonder that this score has the same admirable qualities. Rarely do you get a film score that has this much heart. You can hear it and just sense it from the performance of the orchestra. I am a big collector of film music and I always find myself coming back to this CD for times in life when you need some simple and beautiful reflective music. William Ross has composed a gem here and I highly recommend it. One listen and you will be hooked (or leashed I should say...)

Why?,
By Beth "bethiejw2" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Dog Skip (Audio CD)
I quit this movie after the first ten minutes. Harry James's I'm Beginning to See the Light was in the background and being a big Kitty Kallen fan I recognized it off bat but the beginning and end were only used excluding the middle with Kitty singing, for shame.

This is the one!,
This review is from: My Dog Skip (Audio CD)
For a period of about 3 years I went without a good new Orchestral CD, my last one was by Hans Zimmer, Crimsom Tide. Then I saw two movies that changed that, Shawshank Redemtion and My Dog skip. Shawshank was a veary powerful movie, but My Dog skip was the only movie that made me cry at the end in 10 years. The music reflects the movie in such a manner as well. The music however reflects not the movie to me but the emotions felt during the movie. This is one of the few that do that for me. But one must see the movie first, I rented it I liked it so much I am buying the DVD.
