Preferring to close on a whimper rather than a bang, Mute Math’s pleasant but forgettable “You Are Mine” builds a nice bridge to Aqualung’s more musically impressive “Strange & Beautiful (I’ll Put A Spell On You)” and while it is one of the better tracks, ending the disc with it made the album feel a bit unfinished. While shuffling the order of the tracks may have helped considerably, possibly a better solution would’ve been to drop the excess weight of certain tunes that don’t completely gel with the others or sound like they belong in the universe of the Traveling Pants and replace it ones that — like the perfect pair of jeans — fit just a little better.

I have a question. Is there any song from the Sunset Man CD that would have gone better with the movie than the song that the album is named after does in your opinion?
I love James so much! (smiles) God bless you and him always!!!

Hi Holly,
Thanks for reading, the kind words and your comment. I'm unfamiliar with James Otto's album. Although I didn't feel like the song fit in with this soundtrack, it'd be interesting to listen to his other tunes because he has a great voice.

Holly is right! You too can be an Ottomaniac. It's easy to do. James' music is really addicting. I have seen the movie and it just has a laid back and fun loving enviroment. I I also have seen the first, and James' attitude and his music fits right in. You will understand if you ever met him and new his music. Try it, it's not all that bad. (smiles) God Bless!
