The soundtrack to the Quentin Tarantino pastiche 2 Days in the Valley features a hodge-podge of blues, funk, and soul, with the occasional Lyle Lovett song thrown in for good measure. There's good songs on here to be sure -- Junior Wells' "Going Home" and the Time's "Jungle Love" stand out in particular -- but the songs don't gel together and provide a consistently entertaining album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
