A romantic drama directed by Sam Raimi and starring Kevin Costner as a professional ballplayer who must reconcile the conflicts between his job and his wife (Kelly Preston), For Love of the Game includes an unusual soundtrack that spans musical styles and decades. Much of the soundtrack centers around a light soul groove (Kami Lyle‘s “Lover Man” screams romantic moment) from Shaggy (“Hope”), Jennifer Day (“The Fun of Your Love”), the late Roy Orbison, and the sultry and bluesy Joan Osborne (“Baby Love”). Country music is represented by Vince Gill and Trisha Yearwood, who takes Paul Simon‘s somber and slow “Something So Right” and manages to make it more so. Steely Dan‘s “Reeling in the Years” is the lone classic rock original. However, Jonny Lang locates the psychotic thrust of the Rolling Stones‘ “Paint It, Black,” if not the subtle hues that made it a standard. Now, how all this relates to baseball…? –Rob O’Connor
