This is a beautiful soundtrack, with the slow, sweet southern/country/pop music from the movie. It's perfect for a rainy day, or any time you want to escape the pressures of everyday life and just relax for a while. The instrumental pieces were especially moving. That said, I should point out that there were a few shortcomings. The Finn Brothers' song was weak and rather dull. One of the songs from the movie (Sunshine, sung by Norah Jones) was missing from the soundtrack, which is a shame because it was one of my favorites. And there are no pieces by Dave Matthews. But this is still a cd worthy of recognition. Nice effort, and one of the prettiest soundtracks out there.
