This special collector's box set includes all 3 volumes of the Grey's Anatomy soundtracks.
The Grey's Anatomy soundtracks feature an eclectic mix of indie pop and rock artists whose music is heard during the wildly popular ABC drama about surgical interns in Seattle. The albums' tracks, many of which can be heard during key emotional scenes in various episodes, were chosen by the show's creator and executive producer, Shonda Rhimes, and executive producer Betsy Beers from a large pool of artists introduced to them by music supervisor Alex Patsavas. "We fall in love with the songs," says Rhimes. "We ride around listening to them in our cars. We call each other to talk about them on the phone. We get them into our heads and into our souls. And then we weave them into the show because we can't live without them."
Vol. 1 features electrifying music from such beloved indie artists as Rilo Kiley, The Postal Service, Ben Lee, and Medeski, Martin & Wood, as well as undiscovered talent such as London-based electropop duo Psapp, who supply the show's main title song "Cosy in the Rocket."
Vol. 2 features The Fray's smash hit "How To Save A Life" as well as a special acoustic version of "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol.
Vol. 3 features buzzing artists Brandi Carlile and The Bird and The Bee, along with Mat Kearney's beautiful "Breathe In Breathe Out," John Legend's spare and compelling "Sun Comes Up," Gomez's moving "Moon And Sun," and poignant compositions from Grace Potter & The Nocturnals ("Falling Or Flying") and Paolo Nutini ("Million Faces").
good, not greatReviewed by Amanda Jevitt, 2009-11-04
I always LOVED the music on Grey's Anatomy, but I guess I don't enjoy it as much while listening to it in my car as I did when I was listening to it with a drama-packed show. Still good, but not great.
Fabulous music...seriously!!!Reviewed by J Grindal, 2009-06-16
Every tune has a distinctive and catchy vibe: jazzy, dreamy, sometimes melancholy to the extreme, and insinuatingly romantic when it needs to be. You can close your eyes and feel characters in front on you. Honestly though, I couldn't remember EVERY track from when it was played on Grey's. It would have been nice for the soundtrack producers (Hollywood Records) to have included the episode detail (e.g. "season 2, ep. 4") for each track on the CD insert booklet. Having said that, Shondra Rhimes writes a clever and quirky letter in each of the 3 booklets. The photos inside, although limited, are well chosen to reflect key 'signifcant moments' for that particular season. And, value-wise, the 3-CD box set can't be beaten...seriously!
I wish The Hereafter's BACK WHERE I WAS was here.Reviewed by Jay, 2009-05-24
Sure, it's nice to have "How to Save a Life" and "Song beneath the Song" in one place, but I wish "Back Where I Was" by John Elliott and the Hereafter were part of this compilation.
Good CD - Many Different SoundsReviewed by Jana, 2009-01-20
This CD has an eclectic mix of songs - which I really liked. I have since transferred most of them onto my iPod and listen to them while I work. Looking forward to the next CD!
Exactly what the gf wantedReviewed by J. Barfield, 2008-07-10
I bought this for my girlfriend who is obsessed with Grey's Anatomy. She loves the CDs and they have a permanent home in her car's CD player. As always Amazon was quick to ship.
