Producer: Matt Pierson; Clint Eastwood
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: Engineers include: James Farber, Bernie Kirsh, Paul Brown, Al Schmitt, Joe Ferla. The soundtrack to Clint Eastwood's MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL brings to life the film's sordid tale and colorful cast of characters, making use of the music of Johnny Mercer to do the job. The album's roster boasts a wide variety of singers renowned for their interpretations of standards. Paula Cole gives an ominous treatment to "Autumn Leaves, and k.d. lang blesses "Skylark" with her trademark breathy stylings. Cassandra Wilson simply astounds in a smoldering, timeless take on "Days Of Wine And Roses," while Alison Kraus lends her fragile, endearing voice to "This Time The Dream's On Me." For good measure, the album features several tracks by stars perhaps better known for non-singing endeavors: Clint Eastwood himself jauntily tackles "Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive" and the film's star Kevin Spacey displays some impressive crooning on "That Old Black Magic."

Entertainment Weekly (1/9/97, pp.66-67) - "...It's less a soundtrack than a late-set jam at a swanky supper club....the album's uniform mood and arrangements [are] rare for a pop soundtrack..." - Rating: B+
