Various Artists - Prey For Rock & Roll Soundtrack

Ever heard of this movie? Me neither. Just to bring you up to speed, lead actress and co-producer Gina Gershon’s previous works include Showgirls and Bound. That may be why this academy award worthy flick missed your cinematic radar screen. Right… But we’re here to talk music. Gina Gershon is a true renaissance artist. Not only does she act, but she sings lead vocals on this soundtrack as well. However, doing and succeeding are two very different things. As a result, this soundtrack is more of a fun side project than a musical gem. Shaquille O’Neal’s rap catalog and Russell Crowe’s aussie rock band are comparable enterprises. Courtney Love’s career is going that way as well… If Joan Jett and the Blackhearts decided to reunite for a soundtrack, this might be it. The verdict? This is a worthwhile purchase if you either have a bizarre Gina Gershon fetish or you have a mullet and anxiously anticipate the next 80’s hair-band reunion tour. [www.preyforrockandroll.com]
