Album overviews
Graham Johnston:
Score was composed and conducted by Jack Nitzsche which is more than enough
to recommend this album.
The Beefheart tune, "Hard Workin' Man", appears on the compilation
The Dust Blows Forward, but if you're inclined towards getting the original
albums, it's well worthwhile in this case.
Blue Collar was the soundtrack to the movie of the same name. There
is a story that Don had to be locked in a recording studio to get him to record
the main track. The film features a different, 'filthier' version of the Beefheart
tune from the one that appeared on either this soundtrack or Dust..., containing
the line "Hard workin' fucked over man" instead.
Incidentally "Hard Workin Man" also appears in the film A Civil
Action starring John Travolta, though is not on the soundtrack album for that
film.
