Not bad, but there is a whole lot of country music that seems to be the theme here. They did, however, include a little bit of hip-hop and rock thrown in. It sounds like a nice album, but not my cup of tea. Though, I do give credit to them for trying. It does sound like it has a good chance of becoming a hit for fans and has the chance to get a decent amount of radio airplay.

Do you plan to buy the actual album or not? I doubt that I will, but I do see myself downloading a few of the songs. I am sure that Taylor may wind up with an award for her song. It seems to have become popular among the fans and for a good reason. It fit’s the movies pretty well and that is key for a successful soundtrack.
