The Sopranos: Music From the HBO Original Series

Amazon.com HBO’s Mafia masterpiece The Sopranos is a remarkable television series–it’s witty, creative, and truly unique. The same praises could be sung for a show’s soundtrack, an odd but fun mix of beats, classic rock, and–what else?–Mafia-staple Sinatra. A3’s theme “Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix)” gets things off to a lively start, as does bluesman R.L. Burnside’s “It’s Bad You Know” (from his Come On In remix album). Bob Dylan’s “Gotta Serve Somebody” (from his Slow Train Coming album), Bruce Springsteen’s “State Trooper,” and Elvis Costello’s “Complicated Shadows” aren’t tracks you’ll hear on the local classic rock station, but they work perfectly here. And when was the last time you heard both Little Steven & the Disciples of Soul and Nick Lowe on TV? In short, a great, eclectic collection. –Jason Verlinde Product Description These hip, eclectic soundtrack albums mix classic rock nuggets with blues, hip-hop, R&B, gospel, opera and many surprises, including songs you haven’t heard and tracks by artists who rarely let their material be licensed (Rolling Stones, the estate of Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan). Certified gold!
