5 out of 5 stars What a ride!   October 22, 2008
Listening to this music will instantly transport you to another time and place. It will certainly stir emotions experienced in the movie and remind you again of just how touching the story of Celie is. Enjoy the bluesy sounds of Shug Avery singing in the juke-joint as well as the church choir belting out the sounds of 'God's tryin' to tell you something!' The rhythm of the African drums and chants will spark your soul and the theme music will bring a tear to your eye as you envision the cloud of dust behind the car bringing Nettie and the kids back home to Celie. Go watch the movie later, you know you want to! Don't forget the tissues, though!!


3 out of 5 stars Good Music Short Songs   August 6, 2008
This CD has some wonderful music on it, however there is nothing beyond what was literally in the movie. So there are some great songs that are only 30 seconds long. That was quite disappointing.

This is a wonderful soundtrack! I originally owned the cassette version of it. My 2 favorite songs are "Sister (Miss Celie's Blues)" and "Maybe God's Trying To Tell you Something." Everytime I listen to those songs, I always visualize the scenes from the movie in my head. If you know someone who loves the movie, I recommend getting him or her this soundtrack.


4 out of 5 stars Just What I Ordered   May 2, 2008
I have been looking for this CD forever. I was told that it was "out of print". I was thrilled when I found it and it was reasonably priced. I will have to day that the music in the actual movie was better than what is on the CD, but that is always the way...


5 out of 5 stars Fabulous   April 28, 2008
If you've seen the movie, listening to the CD is like watching it again, but with your eyes closed. If you've seen the movie as many times as I have, you'll know exactly which scene is which as you listen to the music.
