Album Review: Various Artists - Dallas Buyers Club

An album for your inner Americana, the Dallas Buyers Club soundtrack fittingly incorporates the sweet twang of country guitar from artists such as Shuggie Otis and The Airborne Toxic Event, automatically transporting you to the Texan setting of the film. But like most soundtracks, there are always songs that don't quite translate to a compilation CD, resulting in a few unexciting and out-of-place duds that feel more like space fillers than anything else. However, the electronica surprises of Fitz & The Tantrums and Capital Cities' cover of classic disco anthem Stayin' Alive provide interesting twists that definitely make you sit up and take notice.
