3 out of 5 stars Pretty average.......2005-06-23

While the "not-a-real-movie" gimmick is pretty clever, this project never delivers on its promise, despite spirited performances by principal Kevn Kinney and such guest stars as Col. Bruce Hampton. While seemingly advertised as a Kevn Kinney album, the whole (with one small exception) is written by the Harper brothers and features 2 or 3 minute, half-finished songs interwoven throughout with smatterings of fake dialogue (think of the "Reservoir Dogs" or "Pulp Fiction" soundtracks). While it's admittedly a good idea, the Harpers' songs are not as memorable as, say, Kevn Kinney's, and as a result the theme album pales beside such classic examples of the form as "Tommy," "Greendale," or even the less-Olympian "Sothern Rock Opera."

Fans of Kinney might appreciate hearing him in this unusual setting, backed by saxophones, etc., and some of the tracks are solid, such as the title track and "9 to 5 on a Pay Phone." Those who buy it should at least be aware that it's not really a Kevn Kinney album.

chrles owens from Bankok, thailand hit the nail right on the head. The concept was that there are so many movie soundtracks available that have absolutely nothing to do with the actual movie. They're just made to advertise new bands. This record is a soundtrack that has everything to do with the movie, yet it doens't exist. The movie unfolds in your mind as you listen to the album.

5 out of 5 stars Terminus Hits the Mark Again.......2001-05-22

I'm not too sure what the other reviewers expectd from Mr. kinney this time around but I, for one, am more than pleasantly surprised. With a departure from his normal, rootsy material Kinney translates Clay harper's vision with acute poignancy. While listed as a Soundtrack maybe it takes a crackerjack to understand that the film does not exist. This in itself makes it a winner but the vast array of music styles represented here drives the point home: this record rocks! The audio clips between songs set up the musical pieces with humor(Col. bruce Hampton as an overworked, over-the-hill manager) , saddness( Carolina as the object of lost affection), and downright Strip-Mania (9 to 5 on a payphone)! The musicians on this record traverse styles with deft ability as they merge from funk t0 jazz to rock and pop; fulfilling all the criteria of a winner. Upstart Terminus Records, out of Atlanta, is quickly becoming a force to deal with and Main Street is by no means the smallest feather in their cap. Fans of Kevin Kinney already know that he has one of the most recognizable voices in rock and roll and it's time for the rest of the world to sit up and take notice. Terminus already has. Keep up the good work!
