Editorial Review:
Composer/producer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, etc.) has already lassoed eight Oscars in his run as a Disney hit-deliverer, and here he rustles up several good reasons for the Academy to offer him one more. Of the eight non-score songs on offer, three are knock-your-spurs-off dazzlers: k.d. lang pours her perfect pitch all over "Little Patch of Heaven," Bonnie Raitt breaks hearts with the fragile piano ballad "Will the Sun Ever Shine Again," and Tim McGraw tips a twangy hat to friendship on "Wherever the Trail May Lead." The Beu Sisters' version of "Anytime You Need a Friend," also performed as a final track by Menken, satisfies musical sweet teeth--it's the sort of song that's practically mandatory on a Disney record these days--but its slightness doesn't detract from the at times rootin'-tootin', at times pure-prairie-pretty mood. Listeners of all ages, saddle up. --Tammy La Gorce

The Most Underrated Sound Track From The Most Underrated Disney Film Ever?
2008-08-20 - I discovered the film, "Home On The Range" while watching another Disney video with my, at the time, four year old son. After every trailer that looks interesting I ask his opinion and if he gives it a, "thumb's up" I make a mental note to purchase the video (now DVD) from our good friends at Amazon.com as a gift for, "the little stinker".
The first time we actually watched the movie we had a grand time with my boy roaring with laughter at the funniest bits and singing and dancing along with the two most upbeat musical numbers in the soundtrack. My sources tell me that this might have been the most poorly recieved animated Disney feature film ever made. I even heard a rumor that it cost so much to make while generating so little revenue that it got certain younger members of Disney's top management to consider discontinuing ALL animated feature film production! I don't get it.
The film is well written and equally well cast. The pacing is great and the story line intriguing. And the soundtrack? The musical numbers are all captivating with those upbeat numbers truly catchy and the ballads equally moving. (Any time my now five year old son can't get out of bed for school we just pop on the Randy Quaid number "Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo" and he's up, dancing and singing along with the number in a shot.) Disney hired some of country and western's top artists to deliver truly outstanding performances in a truly great original soundtrack.
Buy the DVD for the kids and then get them this CD. You'll be surprised how much they enjoy both. (And you'll be even more surprised at how much you enjoy them too!)
Pretty as Pie!
2007-06-13 - My 2 year old son and I love this soundtrack! The songs are catchy and well sung! Of course, the movie is great too!
Better than my anticipation, but not very good. 
2006-01-05 - Well, I love this movie but not very. When I saw the poster of this movie for the first time, I thought it would be ordinary and very noisy, but when I watched it, I found it was so humorous! And the song in this movie were good! After I listened to the songs "Little Patch of Heaven" and "Wherever the Trail May Lead", I decided to buy this album. In this album, I heard Alen Menken's voice for the first time and I thought it was perfect! I love the song "Will the Sun Ever Shine Again" too. But I don't know why that I love so many songs in this soundtrack, but I don't like this album very much.
I know a place pretty as pie...
2005-11-19 - I think the music is why I like the movie so much. It is fun and entertaining and "Patch of Heaven" puts me in a good mood as I listen to it just before I go into work. Who doesn't need that? Admittedly, I only listen regularly to the first six or seven tracks (they are the ones with lyrics with the exception of the last song but I don't care for that version) but I still love this CD.
