 Boys on the side-audio Oct 21, 2008
I bought this because I so enjoy the movie. I found that it didn't hold muster without the picture, though

 Great Girl Music for all Ages! Feb 20, 2007
I have loved this CD since the movie came out. It's all women singers. The soundtrack seems as if it tells a story. Great to listen to when you're alone in the car!

 My Fav CD Sountrack, better than the movie!! Jan 03, 2006
this and "City of Angels" CD...
The movie, they can keep. The soundtrack - Love it. This one and "City of Angels" soundtracks are my all time favorite compilation CDs. Maybe even tied for first place. Can't decide.
Bonnie Raitt, not a country fan, but, her song "You Got It" is wonderful. Melissa Eldridge, not a big fan - other than this song "I Take You With Me." Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls, Stevie Nicks sings "Somebody Stand By Me" love it. Pretenders, Cranberries, awesome. Annie Lenox, couldn't be lovelier with her "Why." Sarah McLachlan - lovely.
this CD is so nice, you don't have to like any one of the contributors, in particular, and you'll love them all together here. Soft, soothing, sensual, earthy, sad but sweet... a perfect CD for bedtime. Or for reading a book and relaxing.
Just lovely. Nothing more to say! Buy it!

Two years after receiving, I still love it Oct 24, 2005
I'm a big fan of Melissa and the Indigo Girls and this soundtrack works for me. I love each and every song. Other reviews have captured the essence of the music, my review is to emphasize the staying power.

Whoopi on the Side Oct 02, 2004
"Boys on the Side" (1995) was a moderately successful movie starring Whoppi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore, and Mary-Louise Parker. They play an unlikely trio who form close friendships, based largely on the realization that they have been hurt by men. The soundtrack was also a hit and went double platinum. Not surprisingly given the themes of the film, all of the songs are sung by women. The CD is a pleasant collection of pop-rock songs with a tinge of blues, and I usually enjoy listening to it.
Two songs were hits prior to inclusion here: The Cranberries' "Dreams" and Annie Lennox's "Why." The CD also produced a single - Bonnie Raitt's cover of Roy Orbison's final hit "You Got It." Bonnie's version is enjoyable and went to #33 on the Top 100. However, like much of the music on this soundtrack, it's a bit tame. Likewise, The Pretenders' version of Morrissey's "Everyday Is Like Sunday," is surprisingly tepid for the group.
Even though the movie is about female relationships, the producers of the soundtrack obviously did not appreciate the incongruity of including so many covers by women of songs that were written and originally sung by men. In addition to the songs by Bonnie Raitt and The Pretenders mentioned earlier, covers by Sheryl Crow (Eric Clapton's "Keep on Growing"), Jonell Mosser (Robert Johnson's "Crossroads"), and Sarah McLachlan (Tom Waits' "Ol `55") are included.
Finally, covers of "You Got It" comprise 3 of the 13 songs, including a cover by Whoopi! Her breathy version is sweet but hardly memorable enough to appear here. Overall, this soundtrack is agreeable and will probably appeal to many fans of female pop-rock artists; many aspects of it, though, are somewhat disappointing.
