"Being called a cocksucker isn't personal?" "No. It's two nouns combined to elicit a prescribed response."

Here is the soundtrack for the 1989 action flick "Road House," which has come to be known in recent years as the ultimate guy movie. Dalton (Patrick Swayze) is a bouncer with a a degree in philosophy from NYU (really putting it to good use there). The best bouncer in the business, he's hired to clean up the notorious Double Deuce bar in Jasper, Missouri. He dsicovers that local kingpin Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara) has his fingers deep in the corruption of the town, including most of the elements at the Double Deuce. Wesley get jealous when Dalton starts seeing the town doctor (Kelly Lynch), an old flame, and starts sending bhis thugs to attack Dalton's friends as well as Dalton himself. With the aid of pal and mentor Wade Garrett (Sam Elliott), Dalton begins to clean up not only the bar, but the town itself.

This modern-day western has a pretty good soundtrack. Several numbers are contributed by The Jeff Healey Band, who appear in the film as the Double Deuce's house band. Swayze himself contributed a couple of tracks as well. You also get numbers by Bob Seger, Otis Reading, Little Feat, and Kris McKay. I'm sure you all will enjoy it. It may even be your new Saturday night thing.

Tracks:
1. Roadhouse Blues - The Jeff Healey Band
2. Blue Monday - Bob Seger
3. I'm Tore Down - The Jeff Healey Band
4. These Arms of Mine - Otis Reading
5. When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky - The Jeff Healey Band
6. Red Gumbo - Little Feat
7. Raising Heaven (In Hell Tonight) - Patrick Swayze
8. A Good Heart - Kris McKay
9. Hoochie Coochie Man - The Jeff Healey Band
10. Cliff's Edge - Patrick Swayze
