Grey's Anatomy -TV-

Product Description This the soundtrack to the ABC hit that features hot up & coming acts such as Rilo Kiley, Nellie McKay, Esthero, Tegan and Sara, Ben Lee, Wilco and more. Hollywood. 2005. Amazon.com It's always a pleasant surprise when a soundtrack contains an interesting collection of under-heard or under-appreciated tunes, but it's to be expected from Grey's Anatomy--a TV show that is packed with sharp dialogue, honest characters, and wall-to-wall good music. The head-bobbing starts immediately when the Postal Service opens things up "Such Great Heights," a crafty track that will provide indie rock fans who still love the their guilty fix. A few songs in, the cleverness continues with the dysfunctional-woman anthem "Portions for Foxes" by L.A.'s Rilo Kiley, a tune that will have you quoting sharp lyrics to girlfirends for days. Other must-have music includes Mike Doughty (former lead singer of ) with "Looking At The World From The Bottom Of A Well," and the gorgeous -meets- stylings of Inara George on the lucious "Fools In Love." The disc highlight (from a talented vocalist named ) is the sassy "Ruby Blue"--the kind of Macy Gray-funk that makes you want to see her live, immediately. As an added bonus, the liner notes have a wonderful mini-essay by two of the executive producers, providing an enjoyable description of the show's attention to detail, and the cast and crew's deep love of music. --Denise Sheppard
