Yeah, we know, it's the soundtrack to another Tom Cruise movie, where America's favorite leading man plays another lovable mug who gets the girl, the glory and, of course, the money. But wait, don't run away yet! The movie was directed by former rock critic Cameron Crowe (he also directed "Singles"), and the songs he gathered together for it amount to an impressive portrait of the crises of character that Cruise's sports-agent hero goes through in the course of the movie. They also make for one of the smartest compilations of adult rock hits and album tracks you're likely to find anywhere.
Starting at the end, the album closes with an alternate version of Bob Dylan's classic "Shelter From The Storm." For Dylan fans, no other information is necessary. For the rest of you, consider this: Where else can you get Neil Young's "World On A String," Bruce Springsteen's "Secret Garden" and Nancy Wilson's "Sandy" on one album? To round things out, there are tracks from talented upstarts His Name Is Alive and power-pop diva Aimee Mann.
Critic Reviews

Entertainment Weekly (1/10/97, p.58) - "JERRY MAGUIRE director Cameron Crowe raids the rock archives and comes up with a quirky compilation of tunes that comfortably mixes and matches inspired, previously unreleased versions of nuggets by Bob Dylan...and Elvis...with familiar favorites by Bruce Springsteen...and the Who..." - Rating: B
Q (3/00, p.120) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Nancy Wilson and Paul McCartney contribute a couple of pleasing instrumentals apiece, Aimee Mann's 'Wise Up' is as vitriolic as she's ever been and best comes last in the shape of a magnificent alternate take of 'Shelter From The Storm', a highlight of Bob Dylan's BLOOD ON THE TRACKS."
