CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com The Hollywood concept shorthand for Todd Graff's semi-autobiographical musical comedy may be Fame-meets-Meatballs, but the film (nominated for the Grand Jury prize at the '03 Sundance Film Festival) has an energetic musical heart all its own. The original songs of Michael Gore (the original Fame) and Lynn Ahrens (Schoolhouse Rock, the Broadway adaptation of Ragtime) revolve around poles of upbeat gospel fervor ("Here's Where I Stand," "How Shall I See You Through My Tears") and introspective ballads ("I Sing For You"), while the score's choice of covers initially echo those concerns via Todd Rundgren's "The Want of a Nail" and the Stones' "Wild Horses," respectively. But the teen-voiced covers of Sondheim's middle-age missive "The Ladies Who Lunch" and Bacharach/David's loopy "Turkey Lurkey Time" also underscore its youthful sense of anything-goes abandon. The pop songs that round out the collection are a well-chosen and emotionally sympatico lot, especially the Replacements' "Skyway", the Wonder Stuff's "The Size of a Cow" and even Warren Wiebe's weepy ballad "I Believe in Us." This enhanced CD features include behind the scenes footage, film trailer, cast photos, and bios. --Jerry McCulley Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsCapturing the Spirit James Hiller | Beaverton, OR | 08/24/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "If only there was available a camp like this when I was a kid, then I wouldn't have had to endure that horrible week of Boy Scout camp where I had to try to catch a greased watermelon in a stinky lake or get lectured by our denmaster on personal hygiene (but that's another story). Fortunately, all of us "outcasts" get to attend Camp, a wonderful film following the trials and tribulations of an exceptional group of teen performers thrown together for one summer. And after watching the film, your first thought will be, "Where can I buy the soundtrack?". The Camp soundtrack is a perfect companion to the movie, managing to capture the magic of a select few songs that linger in your memory after leaving the theater. All of the "new" numbers performed by the teens in the movie made the soundtrack, and incidentally are my favorite songs. "How Shall I See You Through My Tears", "Century Plant" and "Here's Where I Stand" all stand out on this CD. The produced also included to actual Broadway numbers, "Ladies Who Lunch" and "Turkey Lurkey Time", which will leave you humming for hours afterward. Additionally, other songs performed by other groups and people are included to round out the CD, and accompany the first songs well.If you enjoyed the movie, you'll completely enjoy this CD, and will be playing it for a long time to come. Get on the bus, and don't be late for Camp!" "Here's were I stand" Ogie D. Hudson | Los Angeles, CA | 12/27/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This movie opened emotions that had not been opened since I was a child. This movie is simply OUTSTANDING. I was touched from the opening number. The actors did a fantastic job. I love "Turky Lurky", and "How should I see you through my tears". Now I under stand the want of A nail. Brilliant. The best soundtrack I have heard in 5 years. Wow.. " These kids are something fierce! Andrew | detroit, michigan USA | 08/04/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "This CD is full of incredible, young, talented, teens belting and wailing their way through a great collection of songs. Sasha Allen and Tiffany Taylor especially are two great finds whose careers will hopefully be jumpstarted by their incredible performances in this film and on this recording. One track in particular stands out as superb, "Here's Where I Stand" is as beautiful as it is insanely intense. Tiffany Taylor SANGS her way through this song with passion and vigor rarely caught on CD. It is my hope that this song will be nominated for Best Song at the Oscar's this year. The Downside to this CD, the last 6 tracks of this album. They are not the sprightly young talents singing, rather they are just bands and singers who look poor in comparison to their predecessor teens. I would say that this CD is worth it just for the first 8 tracks but I can't help feeling let down that there aren't more performances by the CAMP cast."
