Original Soundtrack Recording

The Sound of Music

Scum stats - you know someone out there probably knows about ALL the many variants on this one. I’d like to meet that person.

So I’m in Detroit for a wedding, killing time at mom’s house, trying to find a record worth writing about.

I don’t care how cool you think you are, this record is the shit. The last time I watched the film a year or two ago, I couldn’t help but be wowed with how Rodgers and Hammerstein just NAILED it. No joke, there are EIGHT songs on here that are legit contenders for greatest song of all-time. Damn, the Beatles don’t even have an album that dense with hits.

These tunes are hard-wired into my DNA and honestly, I don’t think I really listened to or saw the film THAT much. They’re just so instantly memorable. “My Favorite Things” are you kidding me? Even John Coltrane could not argue with the weight of that one and had to join in himself!

So take a load off and give this one a shot and enjoy the fruits of two total songwriting geniuses knocking it out of the park song after song after song.
