Soundtrack: I Am Sam
by Ashley King
If I Am Sam falters upon its recent release, it has something to fall back on: superb music. And a “sound” soundtrack is a bragging right that not every film can claim.
As if a collection of Beatles covers was not enough, the record features some of the most dynamic bands and singer-songwriters on the current scene. In this modern age of manufactured angst and pseudo-music that is any number of popular bands, pop acts with integrity are all too ...

While most everyone is familiar with the music-fueled pop fashion scene of the first Swinging London of the 1960s, those outside of the U.K. are probably scratching their heads when I refer to Swinging London Part 2.
