| Home on the Range / Original Soundtrack : 4 of 5 | |

 It's a Home on the Range triple-header! Actually, I bought this CD not long after seeing the movie in the theater, because the songs are catchy and the lyrics are hilarious. I'm finally getting around to reviewing it, since I started listening again after watching the DVD. Like most Disney soundtracks, all of the vocal numbers make up the first half of the CD, while the incidental score fills up the rest. I think all of the songs are wonderful - the funniest are the title track (with its manly chorus), and the incredible Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo. The other songs use various country stars like Bonnie Raitt and K.D. Lang, and even though I'm not a country fan, the emotion in these numbers is wonderful (Little Patch of Heaven just makes me smile from ear to ear). The score is pretty entertaining, and I like how sometimes the themes from sad songs appear in happy phrases and vice-versa. The last track is Alan Menken (the composer) singing the original version of Anytime You Need a Friend, which is really heart-felt (quite unlike the pop version!). All in all, this is a great CD that definitely deserves to be in any Disney CD collection.
