Amazon.co.uk Review
Anchored by a muscular, yet funky live version of Gavin DeGraw's theme song "I Don't Want to Be," this collection of music from and inspired by the hit WB series walks the fine line between stock-in-trade teen musical angst and decidedly more AC-friendly fare with its dignity intact. Its emotionally charged mix-tape sensibility comes courtesy of series creator/producer Mark Schwan and his music supervisors, a team who showcase the earnest contributions of show star/troubadour Tyler Hilton (including a winning duet with co-star Bethany Joy Lenz covering Ryan Adam's "When the Stars Go Blue") amidst music that's often moodier (Travis' fine "Re-Offender," the languorous "Lie in the Sound" by Trespassers William) and more aggressive ("Shoot Your Gun" by UK trio 22-20s). Still, it's an album whose heart is tender, as ably demonstrated by The Wreckers' (a collaboration between Michelle Branch and Midwest singer-songwriter Jessica Harp) bright harmonies on "The Good Kind" and an inviting acoustic version of Sheryl Crow's Grammy-nominated "First Cut is the Deepest." --Jerry McCulley

Album Description
Music from One Tree Hill Soundtrack captures the spirit of the hit series, with fourteen cutting-edge tracks from the acclaimed series. Featuring an exclusive live version of "I Don't Want To Be," the program's theme song by singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw, as well as exclusive new selections from Sheryl Crow, the debut of Michelle Branch's band The Wreckers and the fast rising new group, Story of The Year, the One Tree Hill Soundtrack also highlights cuts from a wide variety of fresh young artists personally selected by One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn.

Among the collection's many standouts are included an acoustic version of "Glad," by Tyler Hilton, (who has a recurring role on One Tree Hill as musician Chris Keller). Hilton also performs a duet with One Tree Hill actress Bethany Joy Lenz. Also included is "The Good Kind" by The Wreckers--featuring Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp--and acoustic versions of "The First Cut Is The Deepest" by Sheryl Crow and "Sidewalks" by Story Of The Year.

Customer Reviews

Brilliant Album
I would urge people to get this album; especially fans of one tree hill but dont get me wrong you certainly do not have to be a one tree hill fan to enjoy this music! Those fans of one tree hill know how important music is to the show.. it brings up emotions and helps you to remember the key moments of the show, for example re-offender reminds me of the brooke lucas peyton triangle or sidewalks reminds me of the jake and peyton relationship - The producers spend a long time making sure each song is perfect and fitting for those key moments in the show -how can anyone say that that is the same for the oc?? Simple answer.. they cant! This album has 14 amazing songs all different in their own ways and definately has something to suit every taste!

Be amazed!!!!
This is a cracker of an album, each song is different its also very American but never the less this is real heart and soul music one in a million in that respect.

From the opening track right through this is in a class of its own, super hot tracks & a CD worth listening to over and over again. Well worth the buy!!!

Awesome!
I bought this because i love the show, the music is an intergral part of the emotions and storylines. It instantly became a favourite and everybody got sick of me playing it!! Gavin DeGraw is a real legend! His live 'I Don't Wanna Be' is immense and i reccomend his album. There are some really nice slower songs on here. The duet between Tyler Hilton and Bethany Joy Lenz (aka Chris and Hayley) is just perfect. I was already a fan of Michelle Branch from hearing her on Buffy, but this duet with Jessica Harp is amazing and Sheryl Crow's accoustic track fits perfectly with the episode it was in and instantly brings you back to the Nathan-Hayley relationship. The tyler HIlton solo is really good and im currently trying to get his album! If you like the heavier stuff, this doesn't disappoint, The Rock'n'Roll soldiers may have a spazzy name but the track is frickin awesome!!! and 22-20's is a nice follow up. Jimmy Eat World and Travis provide some memorable tracks in Kill and Re-offender.

Overall this was the best tenner ive spent in a long time! and i seriously recoommend Volume 2!!
