Amazon.com It's said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But in scoring Jay Russell's tear-jerking adaptation of author Willie Morris's heartfelt memoirs of his loving boyhood pooch, William Ross wisely avoids any musical trickery, relying instead on a sentimental score that coaxes, cajoles, and tugs at the heartstrings with dignity and grace. Decidedly traditional, if not necessarily old-fashioned, Ross does a fine job of evoking the humor and pathos--and just a little bathos--inherent in the story, using an American orchestral palette and pastoral sense that echo Randy Newman's Pleasantville, and that's not a bad neighborhood at all. --Jerry McCulley Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThis is a five million star CD Eric M. Kramer | Milan, Ohio, USA | 08/12/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Today,I received the soundtrack for "My Dog Skip" in the mail.NEVER in MY LIFE have I listened to such an emotion stirring CD.It paints every image from the movie in my mind.It will bring tears to a person's eyes just listening to the soundtrack.If you have seen the movie at least once.Thank you,Amazon.com,for selling such a beautiful work of art.This CD rules!" Irresistably luscious, heartmoving film/music at its best J. BREDIMUS | San Francisco, CA USA | 03/10/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I don't often pay particular notice to a movie's score. However, this beautiful film and this luscious score together take you on an emotional venture that grabs your heart and won't turn you lose. There were times when my heart was taken so high it was like riding ocean swells, and then gently lowering it down like a peaceful low tide. If you have seen the film, you have experienced it. If not, then you really should see it on the big screen with good sound while you can. This little masterpiece of a film will probably be ignored by the oscars, but they cannot ignore this indescribable score. I found myself mesmerized not only by the film, but equally by the score, finding myself listening to a guitar here, a flute there, then a clarinet somewhere -- and then the instruments were swept into an orchestral bouquet. A feast for the ears, the eyes, and the heart." Two thumbs up -- way up! J. BREDIMUS | 01/30/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Rarely does a soundtrack succeed in evoking memories of its movie counterpart as well as "My Dog Skip." The movie itself is Oscar worthy and the soundtrack will surely seal its fate as one of the best movies of its kind to come around in a very long time."
