“The Identical” Movie Soundtrack – Review & Giveaway 3

(I received this CD from FlyByPromotions and was asked to listen to it and give my opinion.  Full disclaimer below)

I got an email from FlyByPromotions about a CD for the soundtrack of “The Identical” and was asked to listen to it and give my review on it by way of blog post.  I had never heard of “The Identical” movie and didn’t really know much about it, but music for me is something I’m always happy to listen to and review.

The sampler CD soundtrack that I received, featured Blake Rayne, The Morph Kings, The Ricky Reece Band, Darcey & Mo, Christopher Carmichael and Klaus Badelt.  The real soundtrack has many more artists and titles that will be included in the lineup.  If you’re into “The King” style or bluegrass types of music, you’re going to love it.  Even the track #12 called “One Child (New Life Theme)” by Christopher Carmichael and Klaus Badelt is one that would be great as background music for a dinner evening, etc.  All of the music has a wonderful sound and makes you feel like you’re at the concert listening.

The movie is set to be released on September 5th, so if you are a fan of country, Elvis, 50’s music, church, etc. you are going to love it.  I’ve inserted
information below on the movie so that you can see more of what it is about.  Set your reminder on your phone to be sure not to miss it!

Behind The Soundtrack:

THE IDENTICAL tells the compelling story of twin brothers unknowingly separated at birth during the Great Depression. DREXEL HEMSLEY becomes an iconic 50′s rock ‘n’ roll star, while RYAN WADE (Blake Rayne) struggles to balance his love for music and pleasing his father. The Reverend Wade (Ray Liotta) and his wife (Ashley Judd) are sure their adopted son has been gifted and called by God to be a preacher. But Ryan challenges his parent’s vision for his life, and unflinchingly chooses to launch his own music career with his best friend (Seth Green). Encouraged by his wife (Erin Cottrell) and employer (Joe Pantoliano), Ryan embarks on an unpredictable, provocative path – performing the legendary music of Drexel Hemsley in sold out venues all across the country.

As the brothers destinies tragically collide, Ryan discovers that Drexel is his identical twin which leads him to question everything he’s ever believed about God, family and his own identity.
