Blue Streak [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com
This soundtrack album for the Martin Lawrence cop comedy is a consistently good party disc. In addition to providing Jay-Z with yet another anthemic 1999 smash, Blue Streak brings forth more than solid work from hit-or-miss artists such as Kelly Price and introduces a couple of names to watch. Among the latter, Rehab's cold-eyed dissection of ghetto fabulousness, "Gimme My Money," is more down-to-earth than most such songs. In fact, much of the CD stands as a multivoice critique of the gangsta life and its effects on male-female relationships; Price's "While You Were Gone" could be an answer to Wyclef Jean's dealer apologia "Gone Till November." Blue Streak is a smart, significant compilation. --Rickey Wright

Kelly Price's Track .......2006-12-19

"While you were gone" is my favorite track on this CD; she really rips it up! Kelly is a beast on this song! :)

Garbage.......2002-01-23

Wow I am truly surprised at all these good ratings for this cd. But fa real though I just don't see it or hear it. This cd is simply garbage. This is an exact example of why people hate buying soundtracks. Throwaway tracks from well known artists. Featuring music from TQ, Kelly Price, Tyrese, Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Krayzie Bone, Hot Boyz, Da Brat and others. Two songs are good maybe three on a good day.

Take this garbage track Blue Diamonds by Raekwon. This beat is so annoying and unbearable, yuck. This is probably the worst beat Raekwon has ever rocked over and the hook is equally bad. Jay-Z's Girl Best Friend is a garbage track from him to make money and he succeeded. Keith Sweat featuring Da Brat is garbage. Kelly Price drops a sorry excuse for anything on While You Were Gone. TQ's song is mediocre. Rehab's Gimme My Money is also garbage as is the Ruff Ends song Please Don't forget Me which ironically is easily forgotten. Strings All Eyez On Me ( the song Martin Lawrence was dancing to outside the police station in the movie) is alright. Playa is just a wack artist to me. I have never heard a good song by him ( or is it them?).

Rock Ice performed by Hot Boyz is a tight song and has direct parallels with the content of the movie. Da Freak by Da Shorties and 69 Boyz is tight club song. Criminal Mind by Tyrese and Heavy D( song at the beginning ) is also nice. Na Na be Like by Foxy Brown is mediocre and so is So Plush's Shouldve Treated You Right.

To Conclude stay away from this and don't buy it. It disgraces the movie. Just listen to the little excerpts that are in the movie and you wont be disappointed. Don't Buy This it is low in quality songs and just isn't that good.

Tight as hell! Must have!.......2000-06-29

The cd is better than the movie, and I loved the movie! Plenty of funky sloppy tracks, as well as some party type tracks. This is a must have for any rap fan. You won't be disappointed!

Extremely good music!.......2000-05-02

this CD spits out the greatest rap around!.......2000-05-02

Soul Fixin' Man was the first Luther Allison album recorded on American soil in 18 years, and it reminded the stateside blues community why this Paris-based expatriate was once considered one of the very best of Chicago's second blues generation. He builds upon that reputation with Blue Streak, a follow-up which is even bluesier and more guitar-oriented than its predecessor. If the previous disc emphasized Allison's Wilson Pickett-like singing, this new one focuses on his Albert Collins-like picking. --Geoffrey Himes

Customer Reviews:

Luther Is The Man.......2007-01-25

Another strong Chicago blues album from Allison and band. This is a great album that features some killer guitar and Allison's trademark vocals. I believe Allison won a W.C. Handy award for song of the year with "Cherry Red Wine" from this album, and it is a great track. I have since heard it recorded by several other artists including Johnny Lang, but none of them hold up to the original. Allsion also branches into some slide and steel guitar on this album which adds some nice variety. Other standout tracks include "All The Kings Horses", "Walking Papers", "What's Going On In My Home", "Big City", and "Move From The Hood". As on previous albums Allison maintains a kind of 70's funk vibe to some of his stuff, which works quite well. This was the album that put Allison back on the blues map in the U.S. as he went from playing clubs to theaters after this one came out. Great stuff!

Soulful vocals and Icy crisp guitar Blues!.......2001-06-02

When this cd came out in 1995 it was one of the top albums on Guitar World's magazine year end list and for good reason! Excellent production, deep stirring vocals, Icy guitar playing and an excellent band added to a great cd! A favorite on The Crazy Coyote Blues Power Show 1490 KOTY AM (1490koty.com) Yakima Nation Radio in south central Washington state.

This will be one of your favorite CD's.......1999-08-19

Luther Allison's Blue Streak is simply one of the best blues albums around. There is not a disappointing track on the entire CD. From the infectious wood-block beat of "What have I Done Wrong" to the heart-wrenching "Cherry Red Wine", Allison poured his heart and soul into every cut. The combination of Allison's powerful vocals and virtuoso guitar playing blend perfectly; neither takes the back seat to the other. If you have never heard Luther Allison, give this CD a listen. Then, like me, you'll be a fan and want to have all of his CD's. Rest in peace, Luther.

In your face and about time!.......1999-06-27

Buy this album! Luther Allison is the real deal. As an avid blues lover, I can put this album in the "essentials" category of modern blues. Kind of like one of those "If I were stranded on a desert island" kind of records. You will not be disappointed. Luther sings with grit, determination, and a been-there attitude. Plus, his guitar will kill you! Not much more to say except: BUY IT!!!!

Better than "Restless".......1999-01-26

Watch out! "Restless" gathered much more acclaim, but this CD is just as good if not better! There's a lot of heart and soul, as well as electric blues on this one. It's too bad Luther passed away just as he was really hitting his stride.
