LeAnn Rimes song, "Soon" is from her latest release, "I Need You." It's a beautiful ballad penned by Diane Warren. The theme of this song is about getting over an old love. In the film, there are several characters that are involved. One of them is the former girlfriend of the lead driver. He dumped her, but she still loves him. In the meantime, she hooks up with the guy that is trying to take the lead driver's place as #1. I'm not really familiar with Hank Williams IIIrd's music, but you'd never consider his song, "Hang On" country in any shape or form. It's very heavy metal-sounding to me. It fits the soundtrack well, though. Tim McGraw's "Take Me Away From Here" is played when we are first introduced to Sylvester Stallone's character. The song is a great ballad, and is from his latest release, "Set This Circus Down." The last country song... well, it's NOT a country song, but it's by a country artist, is "Break On Through," the classic Doors song, recorded here by Steve Holy. From the songs I've heard Steve do, I never would have guessed this was him. He covers the song really well. I loved the movie, and the music is great as well. It makes a great selection of tunes for that roadtrip you've been dying to take.
