Product Description

Amazon.ca

The aim was to do for country what Saturday Night Fever did for disco. The result was that bars from Kona to Kalamazoo suddenly had mechanical bulls, and slickers walking around in cowboy hats. You might also pinpoint this as the moment in time when "country" music suddenly went cosmopolitan, paving the way for Garth Brooks. Johnny Lee's "Lookin' for Love" was one of the decade's biggest singles, and this album briefly made a star of Mickey Gilley (whose Texas club provided a home for that alpha bull). Fans of Bob Seger, Jimmy Buffet, the Eagles, Dan Fogelberg, and Bonnie Raitt may want this collection for the tunes they lack elsewhere. And it sure recalls an era. But please don't call it "country." --Bill Holdship

4.0 out of 5 stars I wrote the orginal Amazon.com review above... Mar 21 2007
By W. G. HOLDSHIP
Format:Audio CD
..and I'd just like to clarify, especially since another reviewer here suggests I must be "living in a cave." Mickey Gilley was indeed popular, especially in Texas, before the film...but "Urban Cowboy" made him -- and his club and the mechanical bulls -- superstars during the "Urban Cowboy" years. "Stand By Me" was a huge hit on both the pop and country charts as a result. He wasn't that big before the film and he hasn't been that big since the thing. He exploded into the limelight when that movie came out. -- Bill Holdship

4.0 out of 5 stars Mickey Gilley a star ONLY because of Urban Cowboy? Mar 12 2004
By Terry Davenport
Format:Audio CD
Bill Holdship must be living in a cave, since Mickey Gilley was popular before during and since Urban Cowboy. All the songs on this album aren't country...I agree that you can't really call this a great country album, but being from Texas, knowing the mentality of the people of that era (I would be one of Bud's contemporaries) not all 'cowboys' listened to country ONLY. Lots of the country boys I grew up with listened to rock and roll exclusively, lots listened to a mix. So the Urban Cowboy soundtrack and it's follow up album (which brought many more of the wonderful songs into the hands of the public) is an honest look at Texas twentysomething life in the late seventies/early eighties. And John Travolta played the part very well. A little over the top on the accent, but his character was from West Texas, and those people talk funny out there....LOL. So if you can get this album and its follow up, do so...you'll enjoy it for a long time to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this music Jan 23 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I often watched the video "Urban Cowboy" because it is a lovely love story of regular people. I know this is a movie, but the plot is about regular people. I had to find a CD to this movie for one reason, "I LOVE THIS MUSIC." They are all great songs, but the ones I enjoy are: Mickey Gilley, "Stand By Me," Johnny Lee, "Cherokee Fiddle," & "Lookin' For Love," The Eagles,"Lyin' Eyes," Kenny Rogers, "Love The World Away." They are all great music, so please buy this CD, it is worth every penny!!!!!

Okay, so you're thinking that any movie that has John Travolta playing a country boy must not have that great of a soundtrack, right? Nope. Read more
