Black Dog

Performer: Original Soundtrack
Distributor: Fontana Distribution

Notes: Producers include: Mark Wright, Frank Liddell, Greg Droman, Peter Bunetta, Monty Byrom. Compilation producer: Frank Liddell. Engineers include: Greg Droman, John Guess, Ray Kennedy, Mike Bradley. Patrick Swayze's rugged visage on the front may dissuade those with unhappy memories of Dirty Dancing and Roadhouse, but fear not; as far as this album goes, he's strictly a cover boy. In actuality, the BLACK DOG soundtrack serves as a comprehensive compilation of contemporary country (how's that for alliteration?). Whether your tastes run toward pop-country sirens like Linda Davis and Lee Ann Womack, New Traditionalists like Randy Travis, or Nashville rebels Steve Earle, Jack Ingram and Chris Knight, you'll find something here to catch your ear. The theme linking these diverse artists is that evergreen Country character, the trucker. Like the film, this soundtrack centers around the trials and tribulations of the man behind the big rig.

Entertainment Weekly (5/8/98, p.77) - "...On this soundtrack, which includes previously released tunes from Steve Earle, Gary Allan, and Chris Knight, the hillbilly highway beckons with spooky aplomb." - Rating: B+
