Editorial Review:
The Sopranos have become considerably more than just the average psychically tortured New Jersey mob family next door. HBO's innovative, if distinctly murderous soap opera has become a modern cultural icon, one whose innovative pop music score is almost an equal supporting cast member. The term dizzying has been overused in describing strong soundtrack collections, but it just might not do this second volume of Sopranos music justice. Show creator David Chase, director Martin Bruestle, and executive producer Brad Grey are credited with this rich, cross-genre, multigenerational collection, but they tellingly thank a few score others. The contributions from usual suspect vets like Frank Sinatra, Dylan, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding, Van Morrison, the Kinks, Keith Richards (and the Stones), the Pretenders, and Ben E. King contain more than their fair share of musical and contextual surprises. But the collection's true appeal lies in its artistically oblique corners, which somehow embrace alt-rock (R&B tinged and straight up, courtesy of Pigeonhed and Cake, respectively), nouveau Aussie country (Kasey Chambers), traditional gospel and swampy blues (the Campbell Brothers with Katie Jackson, R.L. Burnside), Vivaldi (Cecilia Di Bartoli), and contemporary Neopolitan pop (Madreblu, Lorenzo Jovanotti). Even budding star Uncle Junior chimes in, with Dominic "Goldenthroat" Chianese lending a spare, heartfelt rendition of the traditional "Core'ngrato"; hang onto your kneecaps, 'N Sync! --Jerry McCulley

Rating:  - The Sopranos - Peppers & Eggs CD
I liked most of the music from The Sopranos, especially the theme, which isn't on this particular CD, and this had a lot of the music I enjoyed from the series.
Rating:  - sopranos suck peppers and eggs
two good songs on one disc, one by kasey chambers, a country and western singer from australia (go figure) and a song by "cake"
the second disc is even worse. one decent song by bob dylan

CD was given as a gift and they just loved it. A must have for Sopranos fans
Rating: - Amazing little music box
I just loved it.
Beautiful packaging with great pictures and most importantly, really great music straight from the series seasons 1-3. Whether it's a song 'Tiny Tears' from a scene of an unsuccessful Tony's assassination attempt, an Italian song 'Piove' from Tony's trip to his old motherland or 'Every breath you take' from the FBI operation in season 3. Great songs will let you reminisce about the great moments of the show.
A must have two-disc set for anyone who likes ... Read More
