Jackie Brown: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture (1997 Film)

\"Stuck in the Middle With You\" and \"You Never Can Tell\" now induce indelible visual images that have little to do with Steealer\'s Wheel and Chuck Berry their respective creators. They\'ve been co-opted (and, some might argue, corrupted) by Quentin Tarantino, arguably the most music-savvy of \'90s filmmakers. The soundtrack to Tarantino\'s Jackie Brown is heavy on \'70s R&B (Bobby Womack, Brothers Johnson, Bill Withers, Minnie Ripperton) studded with oddities (Johnny Cash singing \"Tennessee Stud,\" a track from blaxploitation queen/Jackie Brown star Pam Grier), and snatches of hardboiled dialogue. --Steven Stolder (Amazon)
