Milan Records soundtrack release for the Netflix movie Dolemite is My Name, incorporates Scott Bomar's original score with new songs performed by members of the main cast, including Eddie Murphy, Craig Robinson and Da'Vine Joy Randolph, as well as a lineup of blues and soul greats including Bobby Rush, The Bo-Keys and Blind Mississippi... The soundtrack to Dolemite is My Name is the perfect musical souvenir of the movie, as it mixes the score, by Scott Bomar, songs performed by some of the cast, as well as performances by some notable blues and soul icons. Composer, Bomar, doesn't just deliver a Shaft-esque '70s soundtrack... Okay, he mostly does, but there are some interesting themes that may have passed you by whilst watching the movie. 'Parking Lot', for example, still employs the wakka wakka sound of an electric guitar using the wah-wah pedal, but the introduction of a flute elevates the emotional impact of the music considerably. Capturing the film's humour, 'Ballad of a Boy and a Girl' performed by Eddie Murphy and Da'Vine Joy Randolph is a ridiculously tongue in cheek song that will leave fans with a smile on their face. While this won't obviously been to everyone's taste, the '70s vibe may deter a lot of soundtrack collectors from purchasing it, it perfectly captures the spirit of the movie. Track listing: 01 - 'Dolemite' by Craig Robinson
