Not your run of the mill Bryan Adams album, a full soundtrack CD featuring BA songs written specifically for the film 'Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron' featuring also some of the score from the film. The vast majority of the songs featured on the album were included in the film, with the aim to give the horse a voice through Bryan's music. It worked really well, and although it was essentially only a 2D childrens animation film, it was a watchable little film. Produced by film giants 'Dreamworks' Bryan found himself collaborating with score legend Hans Zimmer and the songs they produced were nothing short of genious. 'Here I Am' was a well deserved #5 hit here in the UK and a great summer song, it's an uplifting tune and features a brilliant solo by Bryan in the middle. Performed live around the same time it gained added beef with Bryan on the bass and packed a punch. Too bad it dropped out of the live set. Of course as you would expect from Hans Zimmer with it being a soundtrack and all, the whole thing feels very theatrical and epic. 'Sound The Bugle' gets the hairs on the back of your neck on edge when the vocals really kick in during the snow scene from the film. Bonus track 'Where Do I Go From Here', also extremely heartfelt and soulful, as does 'Brothers Under the Sun'. Add to that a duet with Sarah McLachlan and this disc has something for everyone. The masterpiece on this album though is 'I Will Always Return', in my opinion his greatest ever ballad. Amazing to think he's never performed it live. Performed with so much heart and passion, if this doesn't get your juices flowing nothing will. There are so many variations in performances on this album (all of them brilliant) that it really does showcase Bryan's vocals extremely well. I hope he does another full soundtrack one day because this was a stroke of genious. Key Tracks: | |||||
