Something for everyone!, Jun 14 2003
This review is from: The In-Laws (Audio CD)
I don't usually buy soundtrack albums, unless there is a song or two not released elsewhere. I must confess the reason I bought this one is for the BEE GEES cut, "Wedding Day". But, there are great songs from Elvis to Ella Fitzgerald, and McCartney to B.J. Thomas and others in between. It is a very diverse album, with something to please everyone. I am glad I made an exception in this case.

An Eclectic Collection, Jun 8 2003
This review is from: The In-Laws (Audio CD)
The first song on this soundtrack, "A Love For You," was recorded by Paul McCartney and Wings for Ram, but not included on that album. It's hard to believe this song has remained unreleased until now. It's a spirited rocker with a very catchy melody, and could easily have been a hit song. The previously unreleased version of "Live And Let Die" included on this album has more of a demo feel to it than the regular version. "I'm Carrying" is also not a new McCartney song, but is a pleasant album track from the London Town album. You haven't lived until you've heard Ella Fitzgerald's version of the Cream song "Sunshine Of Your Love," with the brass section playing the guitar parts! The real find on this album is "More Than A Friend" by the group All Too Much. It was recorded in 2003 but it sounds like a psychedelic pop song from the sixties. Stylistically, this album is a mixed bag. You have to love a collection that includes both Elvis Presely and Yma Sumac, a woman with a five octave vocal range! Ray Charles has said that there are only two kinds of music; good and bad. No matter what type of song is included, this soundtrack contains all good music.

Feel Good Fair, May 11 2010

I might be biased as I'm a HUGE McCartney fan, but... ...this is the best version live or otherwise, of "Live & Let Die". Love Badfinger. Love KC & the Sunshine Band. Bought it for Da-Da-Ling-Ling song. (Our family loves this movie) Great soundtrack.

Great Fun!, Feb 1 2008
By Carroll Stone - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The In-Laws (Audio CD)
The In-Laws soundtrack is a blast! Upbeat and Fun. (I would have given it four stars, except it contains 3 McCartney songs-at least 2 too many.)
