Editorial Review:
One of the most inspired cobbled-together-from-a-stack-of-records soundtrack albums since Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski matches the goofily ramshackle spirit of the Dude, the hero of its celluloid companion. While offering Bob Dylan's luv-addled "Man in Me" together with the Gipsy Kings' redefinitive "Hotel California" and the psychedelic-era Kenny Rogers nugget "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)," Lebowski also gives longer play to some cuts barely sampled in the film, including Elvis Costello's "My Mood Swings." Whether taken as a Coen brothers mix tape, a one-album CD carousel, or an apropos souvenir of one wiggy flick, this is a smart, eclectic buy. --Rickey Wright
The Big Lebowski: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Reviews:
Creedence really tied that movie together 
2009-09-25 - I agree with Matthew Perri -- Not having 'Looking Out My Backdoor' on the CD creates
a big hole. Creedence really tied that movie together.
Unofficial Official soundtrack 
2009-07-17 - Love this album although it falls short on some of the movies best songs. There's not even any Credence!! The good news is that you can purchase basically all of the other songs as mp3's on Amazon and other sites, and then construct the actual official soundtrack.
No Esquivel either 
2009-07-03 - All these reviews by wanna-be hipsters, and not one - ONE - of you noticed the most OBVIOUS omission in the album. Mucha Muchacha from Esquivel. One of (the many) best scenes in the film, poolside with Bunny and the nihilist - "I'm just going to go find a cash machine" - uses that song.
I guess Esquivel's estate must be hella expensive for these low-rent bozos.
I DID NOT WATCH MY BUDDIES DIE FACE DOWN IN THE MUCK IN NAM SO THIS COMPANY COULD PASS OFF...
Great Movie Great Soundtrack 
2009-07-01 - This will always be one of my favorite movies, great actors, great charactors, and great music. It is a super funny story and the music compliments it well.
So it has some holes in it....still worth having
2009-03-20 - While I agree with some other comments that this sound track has some holes (no Creedence, and no Tumbling Tumbleweeds) it still is worth having. It has all the more obscure music that I find entertaining in the movie, and having "What Conition my Condition is In" and the Latin heat of the Gypsy King's version of "Hotel California" aren't to be missed. Go for it, you Achievers.
