Title: Play This CD in Your Tractor!
Review: These songs are brilliantly quirky and smoothly performed by a large ensemble cast better known for its acting prowess than its musical ability. Ronee Blakley, who stole all her scenes in the movie playing the emotionally unstable Barbara Jean, is wonderful crooning "My Idaho Home" (love her tag-on ending "... for Mamma and Daddy"!) and the fast-tempo "Tapedeck in His Tractor"; Keith Carradine deserved the Oscar he won for "I'm Easy" (the song that transfixed Lily Tomlin and several other women in the club scene); and Henry Gibson's twangy vocals are a pleasant revelation. A must for fans of Altman's cinematic masterpiece; these songs evoke the heart and spirit of his superbly watchable film.
