More Rick, less filler, please

Review Score: (6/10)
I may be the only reviewer who actually likes Nona Hendryx's offering here, "The Heart of a Woman". Otherwise, although Rick was generous in spotlighting other (some, I believe, among his favorite) artists on this soundtrack, it might have been a more cohesive effort if it had all been Rick's show. Think about it; didn't "Purple Rain" make better sense for excluding The Time's "Jungle Love" and "The Bird"? Anyway, "Love Somebody", "Don't Walk Away", and "Stand Up" are as enjoyable today as they were 15 years ago. "Taxi Dancing" and "The Great Lost Art of Conversation" are good efforts, but seem a little too much like typical soundtrack ballads. Still, this is worth owning for true fans; you're not gonna get "Stand Up" from a best-of (though, strangely enough, you will get "Taxi Dancing". Go figure). Don't worry, Rick; in the long run, people will remember a soundtrack longer than they'll remember the movie anyway.
