Original Soundtrack - G.I. Jane (CD)

All Music Guide

I really like Three Dog Night's "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)." That's here, along with Bad Company "Feel Like Makin' Love." Which is also a good song, if you could cut out about eight bars at the end. John Lee Hooker is his own bad self with "Dimples." The bookends of the compilation are the interesting points. First, the CD opens with two newly recorded Pretenders tunes, "Goodbye" and "The Homecoming." At the end, there are four songs from the daringly named Auntie Christ. This neo-punk band contains two people from X (Exene Cervenkova and drummer D.J. Bonebrake) and former Rancid bassist Matt Freeman. There are also three intense instrumental rockers from Trevor Jones. Overall, a fairly good soundtrack considering it comes off out of context as a group of unrelated songs.
