COMMUNITY REVIEWS

American graffiti submitted by avrogers1 on June 21, 2019, 9:46am This is one of my husbands all time favorite movies... Don't let him fool you, he loves the hot rods! How wonderful to have a soundtrack CD, the music is pretty great.

Better than the soundtrack to the movie submitted by Firehawk on November 10, 2023, 8:54pm A lot of classic rock-n-roll appeared in this movie, bits of a song here, a part of a song there.
This album has 40 songs in their entirely.
And they are all great songs to listen to.

You might wonder who the gravel-voiced DJ is who is heard a few times throughout the album.
That's the real life Wolfman Jack. He's a part of the American Graffiti movie.
You can look up the facts on Wikipedia, but the feeling is this: his broadcasts were heard across the US and was a lifeline to all communities starved for rock-n-roll.
