Hair: Original Soundtrack Recording - Special Anniversary Edition [Extra tracks] [Cast Recording] [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com
Rereleased two decades after the motion picture debuted, the soundtrack to the movie version of America's first "tribal love-rock musical," Hair, holds up amazingly well. Performances by Treat Williams ("I Got Life"), Beverly D'Angelo ("Good Morning Starshine"), and Nell Carter ("Abie Baby" and "White Boys") are as uproarious as ever, while Cheryl Barnes's "Easy to Be Hard" remains a paralyzing gospel number. The timing could not have been better, as many trends in late-'90s music retread the musical's funk bass and evangelical vocal arrangements. But beyond a lucky coincidence, the rerelease of the music comes at a time when the spoiled offspring of the original Woodstock generation returns to the farm rioting, destroying property, and filling arrest dockets with names. If nothing else, the CD is a glorious reminder of a time when social awareness, brotherly love, and mind expansion were mantras, not marketing rhetoric on the sides of soda bottles. --Beth Massa

Customer Reviews:

Hair: Original Soundtrack - The BEST Hair Recording EVER!.......2007-07-05

This is the original remastered soundtrack of Milos Forman's masterpiece. It is stunning, how underrated this movie is in North America. The vocal performances, musical arrangements are absolutely top notch, like it was recorded yesterday. You can hardly wait to see the movie after listening this phenomenal soundtrack.

a true blast from the past.......2007-03-15

My High School drama/musical club wanted this recording to study and for consideration for performance possibilities. Great music, some of the lyrics were heavy, but a very positive musical experience.

I can't stop listening to it.......2007-02-23

I really like it. I like Aquarius and a whole bunch of others. There are songs on here I like better than the Original Broadway Cast Recording. Then there are some songs I like better from the OBC recording than this one. All in all I really like the CD. Some of my favs are Aquarius, I'm Black/Ain't Got no, My Conviction, Easy To Be hard (really like this version), Electric Blues, Black/White Boys, Abie Baby (I like what Nell Carter does to this song, it is different than the OBC), 3-5-0-0, What a Piece of Work is man, Good Morning Starshine, and Flesh Failures.

Hair: Original soundtrack Recording - special anniversary Edition.......2007-01-10

The music quality was not very good. It sounded like it was recorded on the wrong speed, and the singers in a different octave . It doesn't compare with the original recording on LP.

I have fallen in love with this musical...............2006-04-20

I think that this soundtack is wonderful and amazingly well made and well done. I've looked at other people's reviews, and a lot of people are saying that this soundtrack is not the one for them and are warning other people not to get it. I disagree and feel that the musical soundtrack is good too, but that this soundtrack is still as amazing and well preformed as ever. Mabye some of the artists could have put a little more energy into making this soundtrack, but that fact still would not prevent me from listening to this sountrack and still thinking it is truly amazing.......
