To start I'd like to say that when I had previously seen One Tree Hill on Tv I'd just changed the channel as I thought it looked like something for kids. Well that all changed I was down the video shop and I thought that rather than get a film I would get a TV series, I picked up the tried and trusted Sex and the City and then for some crazy reason I decided to be reckless (this is reckless for me, I'm rubbish at starting to watch new shows) and get the first series of one tree hill.
The start of the series seemed to be all about basketball and I thought I was right with my first impression, but by the 2nd disc (there are 6 disks) I was hooked, I don't want to give too much away incase you choose to watch it but it's basically about 2 brothers who were not brought up together and have been told to hate each other by their dad and the way they deal with life and the things they get up to.
When the series ended I was gutted and needed something to wean me off the TV and rewatching the series again. I checked on the internet to see if there was a soundtrack
and came across the one I am writing about, I didn't know if it would be any good but I was very surprised. The songs remind you of the show and you find yourself reliving the best moments.
There are 14 songs on the CD - Gavin DeGraw - I don't want to be - Anyone that has watched the show will know this song as it is the theme tune, it is quite a rocky song and really catchy, this is the live version.
The Wreckers - the good kind - On the show there are lots of bands that play in a club and these are one of the ones that play, before the show I had never heard of them but I am going to get their album now. This song is quite a slow romantic song and gets you singing along.
Jimmy eat world - kill - I can't recollect where in the series this song came from but it's a fast song and livens the CD up so you don't end up crying by the end....lol, it seems like a heartbreaker moment as it's talking about not wanting to walk away.
Travis - Reoffender - I think this is the weakest song on the album and to be honest I always skip it, I find it too slow and depressing. I'm sure Travis fans would like it though as it's the sort of stuff he does and I normally like that sort of stuff.
The get up kids - overdue - This song is a bit hit and miss, if you want to sing along this song doesn't really give you too much passion to want to sing along.
Rock n Roll soldiers - Funny little feeling - I love this song, it's quite headbanging and very upbeat, there's a lot of yelling going on in the background but that only seems to add to the effect.
Tyler Hylton - Glad - This song is brilliant, I think this guy has an amazing voice as it is really gravelly, I didn't even have to wonder where this song came on the show as you instantly remember him dedicating it to Hayley on the show. It's a really emotional song.
22-20's - Shoot your gun - This is another quick rocky song, it seems like they have got a real mix on this album, to be honest this song is not really my sort of song.
Story of the year - Sidewalks - This is a really catchy sing along song, I don't know where it really fitted into the show but you don't need to have watched the show to enjoy this song.
Tyler Hilton & Bethany Joy Lenz - When the stars go blue - This is without a doubt my favourite song on the album, both of the singers were actors on the show and sang this song together and went on tour together which was a major plot, they can really sing and there is a lot of passion.
Keane - Everybodys Changing - I'm sure I don't need to say much about this as it is such a popular song but I'll give you my quick view.......legendary song!!
Butch Walker - Mixtape - When I first heard this song i didn't think much of it but as I have listened to it more I have grown to love it, it starts out slow and then picks up quite a bit.
Sheryl Crow - The first cut is the deepest - This is a great song that it well known, not sure where it was on the show and I'm sure I would have remembered it but it's one you will recognise and hopefully love like I do.
Trespassers William - Lie in the sound - I think this song is too slow and doesn't really pick up the pace.
That's the end of the CD, I know there are some songs on there that I have said I don't think were great but the vast majority of them are and I would strongly advise you to give it a go.
The Cover - The cover has all the cast on it and on the back has a list of all the songs, there are not any lyrics inside the cover.
The cost - The cost varies at different places, I 1st went to Amazon and got a copy for 4.97 but then it got to a week and it wasn't there so I went to Fopp and got the CD for 13.00, a week later my one from Amazon arrived as well, I now have one for the car and the home....I think I may be addicted.
I really hope this has helped you in your decision....happy singing.

Excellent review there sweetie...well done! I'm not a big fan of the show, so I won't be getting this; however, it might interest you to know that Hilarie Burton (who plays Payton Sawyer on the show) and I went to the same high school...in fact, I was a senior when she was a freshman at Park View High in Sterling, Virginia. The only thing I remembered was that she was dating a guy I was an acquentience of, and there were rumors she was banging many other guys, but who knows. I did speak to her a couple of times though...Chris xxx
