Chain Of Fools By TwentyEight on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
This is the soundtrack album from the 1991 movie of the same name. The movie was about a start-up band in Dublin Ireland and their trials and tribulations. It was a good movie but not very popular in the US.
The soundtrack of The Commitments is great. Even though the songs are covers of the original songs they are done with quality and feeling. The tracks are:
Mustang Sally
Take Me To The River
Chain Of Fools
The Dark End Of The Street
Destination: Anywhere
Can't Stand The Rain
Try A Little Tenderness
Treat Me Right - Otis Redding
Do Right Woman Do Right Man
Mr. Pitiful
I Never Loved A Man
In The Midnight Hour
Bye Bye Baby
Slip Away
In 2005 'The Commitments' was voted the best Irish film of all time in a poll sponsored by Jameson Irish Whiskey.
If you were into the music of the 60 and 70s you will probably like this album. If you rent the DVD you will almost certainly want to buy it. Be aware that a single well known expletive is used 145 times in this 113 minute movie.
