I love this CD. I enjoyed watching Providence on TV, and miss the series very much. The songs in the CD bring back many memories and are great listening for driving, working around the house, or just lying on the couch on a rainy afternoon. A MUST buy.

This wonderful CD came up in an e-mail conversation with a friend recently and reminded me just how really good it is. One of my favorite shows ever on television was Providence, starring Melina Kanakaredes. Like the show itself, which was warm and funny, and much like life itself, hard to define, the sountrack is an eclectic mix of the various feelings we have in our day to day struggle to move our lives forward while savoring the good moments.
Those fans of the show like myself will find much to love here, and will probably remember certain episodes where these songs played in the background. No fan of the show will ever forget the first time they heard Marc Cohn's "The Things We've Handed Down" as Melina Kanakaredes watched home movies of her deceased mother, who would appear to her daughter to guide and prod her in the right direction.
Eva Cassidy's "Songbird" is just too good for words so I won't try. There are two versions of "In My Life" here. Besides the version we heard at the beginning of every episode, we get Shawn Colvin's cover of this Beatle's tune, and it is quite excellent. Gus' "Laugh I Could Learn to Love" fits right in with the warm feeling this teriffic show left in our hearts every week.
Jonatha Brooke's "Linger" perfectly captures in pop fashion the approval we all seek from our most cherished loved ones, who we sometimes have the most trouble relating to. "Forgive" is a place everyone has been in their personal relationships; ready to move on but still not ready to let go of our hurt. Rebecca Lynn Howard has some wonderful vocals on this song. "What Do You Hear in These Sounds" has the humor and angst in life wrapped up in a cylindrical melody which is infectious. Dar Williams does a nice job on this selection. "Con Te Partiro" is a beautiful Andrea Bocelli selection with the graceful feeling of the show itself.
The album closes with Chantal Kreviazuk's fine version of "In My Life" and Beth Nielsen Chapman's "Say Goodnight." It was too soon to say goodnight to this most wonderful of shows, but this CD lets us relive a few of the fine memories we made gathered around the television eating popcorn and watching something of quality come our way, and as always, pass much too quickly. So say goodnight but not goodbye and pick up this warm reminder as soon as you can.

Gosh, was this cd hard to find. But I am SO glad I did. This is simply one of the most beautiful soundtracks I've ever heard. I love to listen to this at the end of the day. My favorites are without a doubt "Songbird" and Chantal's "In My Life". I have heard many versions of "In My Life" over the years, but this is my favorite. Buy this cd if you can find it. You won't regret it!

There is a good reason to avoid soundtracks. Without the context of the show, the songs/tunes have to stand on their own. With a couple exceptions, Eva Cassidy's "Songbird" and the two renditions of "My Life", it is pretty dull stuff. Unless you are a huge fan of Providence and can place the tune with the show, I'd pass.

NO MATTER IF YOU ARE OR ARE NOT A FAN YOU WILL LOVE THIS COLLECTION OF MUSIC. NEVER HAS THEIR BEEN A GREATER TV SERIES SOUNDTRACK. NBC CANCELLED PROVIDENCE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS STILL A WONDERFUL SHOW. I'M NOT A DIEHARD FAN OF THE SHOW, BUT I STILL SPENT MY FREE FRIDAY NIGHTS WATCHING IT. THIS CD IS JUST A TOKEN TO ALL THE FANS WHO ENJOYED THE SHOW FOR SO LONG. EITHER WAY I HIGHLY RECCOMEND YOU BUY THE CD WHILE YOU STILL CAN BECAUSE IT WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOREVER.
