LOVE THIS GREAT CD. WELL WORTH THE MONEY AND TIME. GOES GREAT WITH MOVIE.
WOULD BY IT AS A GIFT FOR ANYONE.

This soundtrack is absolutely wonderful! After having the movie for years, and watching it over and over to hear the songs, I thought it about time to get the actual soundtrack.

Reese and Joaquin put a beautiful new sound on these old classics, and it works! I could listen to this CD over and over.

Now "Times A Wastin'" isn't on the CD, and I saw that someone gave it a bad review because of that. Well June wrote "Times A Wastin'" with her first husband, which is the main reason it's not on the CD. It's not a song that she was inspired to write because of Johnny; it was just a song that she said she'd never sing again, especially with another man, and she did sing it again, with Johnny.

This is an absolutely wonderful compilation of old songs with a new twist. I highly recommend it.

I've heard a lot of hard-core Cashers down this c.d. but if ANYONE COULD have done it right, Joaquin was the man and Reese was the lady for the job. It's fun and uniquely theirs while still having that amazing Cash flare. I think its absolutely wonderful.

Just a blast, with lots of good energy - and it makes my wife happy!

I know the songs in this movie are from cash, but I have to say I like this soundtrack very much and they sang these songs at least as good as cash.

As close to Johnny as you can get. Some of the songs actually sound better sung by Jacquin than Johnny. Loved the film loved the CD even more!!

What a Great sound track to go with a Great movie. Phoenix and Witherspoon did fantastic jobs duplicating the voices of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. This one is headed for the history books. If you don't own this one, you need to buy it now, if not to just add to your music collection. Just Do It!

Before Time Runs Out.

I've enjoyed this cd. I found the movie inspiring, so listening to the soundtrack recalls the film. Other reviews comment on how far short Phoenix & Witherspoon fall from Cash & Carter, and while this is very clear on the cd, I bought it because of my attachment to the movie. The music is lively, and allows me to engage a genre of music I normally wouldn't choose.

I have to admit, I never saw the film WALK THE LINE, the story of Johnny Cash and his wife June Carter Cash. I checked out the soundtrack recently when I had the opportunity to. I wanted to hear how Joaquin Phoenix did as a singer on Johnny Cash's music. Much to my surprise and delight, I thought Joaquin did a wonderful job. Although the intentions were never to try to imitate Johnny and June's vocals, both Joaquin and Reese Witherspoon captured the essence of the two late singers both vocally and spiritually. I thought I was listening to Johnny Cash when Joaquin was singing. I really loved listening to him sing "Ring of Fire" (my all time favorite Johnny Cash song). I really wasn't crazy about "Cocaine" or "Jackson" but that has nothing to do with the actors singing those songs but rather that I never really cared much for those particular songs in general. I also wasn't big on the songs that weren't sung by Joaquin or Reese. "You're My Baby" sounded like it would have been perfect for Elvis Presley. It wasn't terrible but I think it would have been better if Joaquin had sung the track (as well as the other tracks that were sung by other artists). Despite a few clunkers, I liked the soundtrack overall.

I was really looking forward to this soundtrack, since Walk The Line is one of my all-time favorite movies, and the music, sung by Reese and Joaquin was outstanding. But when I played the CD I realized that I wasn't listening to the mostly "live" recordings from the movie in front an audience (albeit movie "audience"), but was instead an under produced studio recording version with none of the electricity of the movie. It's a shame. This could have been a great CD or double CD. One side with what they are currently selling but the other disc should be the versions we hear in the movie, starting with his auditions and even some of the talking from the movie in front of the songs, especially the parts where "Johnny" is talking about the water in prison and then launches into a rip roaring version of Cocaine Blues, or the time when "June" is telling the audience she has her dress caught in Johnny's guitar, or when Johnny asks her to marry her in the middle of the song. Then we'd have a great CD (like Apocalypse Now). Imagine if that CD didn't have Duvall saying I love Napalm in the morning?. Yes, it's not a movie, but it's a soundtrack. So give us the real soundtrack, and not this watered down version of some studio songs. I can buy Cash's real albums for that.

It's a shame. They could have either chosen to make more money with a 2- Disc set, or just chosen the right way to make this.

This is a very good soundtrack album. It could only be better if it included "Times a Wasting" from the movie. However, it is well worth purchasing as they do a great interpretation of the Johnny and June Carter Cash songs.

Joaquin Phoenix is very very impressive as Cash. I do believe he really captured the voice and spirit in the voice of "the man in black." The one that stole the show with vocals was Reese though. My goodness she can belt a June Carter song out. I loved the country twang and her performance was incredible. I own many Cash CD's and I am proud to put this release right next to the stack. John and June would be happy with the results of this CD....
Favorites:
*Cry, Cry, Cry
*I walk the line
*Juke box blues and the beautiful, "Wildwood Flower."

Very Good performeds and beautiful songs!

My favourite song `Juke Box Blues` unbelievable!

Within the liner notes of the gem of a CD, the director of the movie "Walk the Line" was quoted as saying he wasn't looking for a Johnny Cash impersonator, but for somebody who could make the legend come alive.
I personally really like Joaquin Phoenix' smooth, sexy voice. My favorites are "Get Rhythm" and "Walk the Line."

I strongly reccommend this CD.

The music was wonderful. I think Reese Witherspoon needs to do more signing. I certainly would buy her CD

Disappointed with this CD lacked body and character music sounded thin and repetative

A wonderful movie. Joaquin Phoenix was ideal as the young Johnny Cash - 19 to 37 years, The producers said they didn't want an actor and actress to portray John and June precisely and this is what I saw. The singing and guitar playing was right on. Joaquin should have won an Oscar also!

I bought the cd for my husband who is a huge fan of the movie. He absolutely loves the cd! He has practically worn it out listening to it.

What strangely hidden talent...Johnny would be pleased. This CD gets played so often it's near wore out.

I enjoyed the movie about the life and times of Johnny Cash very much. There were great performances of Phoenix of Cash's songs, and one in particular I never heard of before. I was interested in listening to "Home of the blues" that is partially sung in the movie. Listening to the whole piece was good.

Joaquin does a good job in this cd of not trying to sound like Cash, but sings songs with Cash's influence.

Great Cd.

This was absolutely the best sound track I've ever purchased. I play it almost every day and think of the wonderful comraderie shared by Johnny and June.

This is a fine recording. Johnny and June would have been delighted with it. Both of the actors should have gotten the Academy Award for their acting and singing.

It's old songs with a fresh sound. Give these guys props for singing them in the first place. Plus, it is a fun CD to listen to. Glad I bought it.

I am completely satisfied with the product and service that I was provided.

I love the movie, I used to watch it everyday. I love Johnny Cash's music, and Pheonix played it so well. The CD is great, with a mix of Reese Witherspoon, and Tyler Hilton, its def. a keeper. When I bought the movie, it came with a CD with 5 songs, and I listened to that over and over, until I bought this CD.

I love My Walk the Line Soundtrack. I listen to my Walk the Line Soundtrack everyday. I sing along with Joaquin and Reese. I am bigh fan of Johnny Cash, Joaquin and Reese.

This is one of my favorite movies and the soundtrack is great. Who would have thought these actors had such beautiful voices.

The CD was just as descriped and in perfect condition. The time it arrived was extremely fast! I am very happy with the service I received!

if u loved the movie u will definitely love this cd...

A winner! If you liked the movie you gotta have the CD. I'm not a country western fan. But his music is very good!

I am not a country fan, but absolutely love this CD, and my kids do too, which says something! My 5-year-old sings "Walk the Line."

I loved the movie and I love this CD. It has become a family favorite and my kids listen to it all the time. Joaquin Phoenix does an excellent job singing Johnny Cash. Major Cash fans may not enjoy it as much because he does not sound identical, but he does do a great job.

This CD is exceptional. I listen to it in the car, at work and at home. It is full of feel good music that brings back memories of being kids when things were all right in our world. The music is sung by the actors and one song by Reese is actually prettier than the original version.

It's been a long time since I've loved a film as much as Walk the Line.
I've watched it several times, and have yet to grow tired of it.
I had never been a fan of Johnny Cash or June Carter, but their love for each other was undeniable, and the bond so strong.
It took them years to finally be together, and the journey this film takes you on leaves you wanting to know more about them, and feeling as though you knew them.
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon deserve every accolade for their portrayals. They were not impersonators, they were the heart and soul of Johnny and June, and that comes across so clearly.
They were so incredible.
See this movie, own it, and watch it again and again-you will be so glad that you did.

When I bought this cd I assumed it would be uplifting like it is in the movie. I was wrong. Don't waste your time listening to it more than once in a great while. The movie makes the music sound better.
