Details: Product Description Tracks include "4:35 A.M.' by Gemma Hayes, "Alive" by Becki Ryan, "The Things We Don't" by Watertown, "Catch the Wind" by Donovan, "Wild Horses" by Natasha Bedingfield, "Weight of the World" by Chantel Kreviazuk, and "The Fireman" by the Dancehall Doctors. Amazon.ca Country star Tim McGraw not only furthers his promising acting career on this modern film update of Mary O'Hare's classic horse fable My Friend Flicka--he also brings his winning pop-music acumen to bear as executive producer of its contempo-country song-score. His previously unreleased ballad "My Little Girl" successfully evokes previous McGraw hits, and he's shrewdly woven it into a collection that echoes the story's themes via the sultry R&B-country fusion of Natasha Bedingfield's "Wild Horses"; a spare, haunting "Rodeo Road" by Holly Williams (granddaughter of Hank Sr.); and the quiet introspection of Gemma Hayes's opening "4:35 A.M." Becki Ryan's "Alive" and "The Things We Don't" by Watertown give the collection a welcome double-shot of country-pop effusiveness, and Donovan's vintage "Catch the Wind" seasons it with timeless folk charm, while McGraw turns his Dancehall Doctors touring band loose to tear up "The Fireman" with live roadhouse swagger. This is a collection that skillfully evokes both the story's gentle emotional soul and McGraw's own pop-savvy contemporary country instincts. --Jerry McCulley
