| Reflecting Adam Sandler's unassuming title character, the music that makes up the MR. DEEDS soundtrack is a simple mix of no-frills new music and classic rock standards. So along with David Bowie's moving "Space Oddity" (featuring a humorous Sandler intro) and Pete Towshend's pleading "Let My Love Open The Door," you get previously released material by Scottish sweethearts Travis (the folksy shuffle "Sing") and alt-rock darlings Weezer (the breezy "Island In The Sun"). Newly penned material includes Counting Crows delivering the rollicking Brit-pop homage "Goin' Down To New York Town," the Dave Matthews Band previewing the ethereal "Where Are You Going" from their forthcoming album BUSTED STUFF, and former Radish frontman Ben Kweller making like Ben Folds with the piano-driven "Falling." Though Adam Sandler's films don't often rank with the classics, soundtracks like MR. DEEDS prove the man and his advisors don't treat the music featured in these films as an afterthought. |
