This came out in 2000 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
“Hello and thanks for calling Soundtracks By The Numbers. How can I help you?
“A soundtrack for your new film? Certainly, sir. We’ll just need the title of the movie, the name and the lead actor and a description of his character. Un-huh. OK, let me see if I’ve got that: It’s Wonder Boys, with Michael Douglas as a male-menopausal college professor, correct? Well, may I recommend our Men of ’60s/’70s Folk-Rock sampler? It coms with a new, high-quality Bob Dylan number — a darkly loping, jangly track called Things Have Changed, his first song in three years — and an assortment of old Neil Young, Tom Rush, Tim Hardin, Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison and John Lennon to tie in with the whole aging-hippie, college-prof, ’60s theme. The other songs? Oh, they don’t matter; they’re just filler. Trust me, nobody will be listening after the Dylan tune. Now, would you like a video to go with that?… ”
