Notes & Personnel Info |  | Filled with songs featured during the fourth and final season of Felicity, this CD attempts to soundtrack the life of a sensitive and introspective college senior and seems to do a pretty decent job of it. Tracks from 2001's golden boy Ryan Adams, Barenaked Ladies, Jude, and Natalie Merchant strike a nice balance of rocking out and straight-up bookworming. One gets a pretty good feel for the state of adult alternative pop/rock from the track listing. Scattered amongst the big names are a couple of undiscovered artists (until now, that is): Andy Stochansky and Maren Ord. Fans of Sixpence None the Richer and Kendall Payne will want to snatch this disc up in order to get their unreleased tracks that are included. ~ Tim Sendra | | Just when Felicity was joining other teen soaps like Dawson's Creek and Roswell in the cancellation bin, along comes FELICITY: SENIOR YEAR, the second collection of songs drawn from this Keri Russell-driven series. Soundtrack album producer Maria Alonte did a fine job assembling this mix of well-known artists and equally deserving sleepers. Among the obscure talents whose contributions particularly stand out are Maren Ord (the very Jewel-like "Perfect"), Jude's (the winsome "King Of Yesterday"), and Kendall Payne (the delicate, acoustic "Scratch"). | | Alonte's choices of previously released material also rings true, and include Barenaked Ladies' melancholy "Call And Answer," Shelby Lynne's slinky come-on "Bend," Chantal Kreviazuk's dream-poppy "Far Away," and Ryan Adams's gorgeous "La Cienega Just Smiled." Skip the absurd time-machine series finale and instead go straight to this honest and heartfelt collection of music. |
