     I was kind of hoping this was the long-
awaited soundtrack to the Witchblade TV 
series.
     This is a mix of songs which appeared 
in the first and second seasons of TNT's 
"Witchblade," and other songs which were 
either inspired by the show, or just good-
sounding enough to be here.
     The CD doesn't bill itself as a 
soundtrack to the show. It's just 
"Witchblade: The Music." 
     But I still had hopes, and that's why I 
decided to order this CD from Edge Artists.
     I don't remember all the songs from the 
show, so I found a listing of songs from the 
first and second seasons at BladeTV.com 
and tried to match them up with the songs 
on the CD to see what was what.
     Fans of the show will instantly 
recognize the first track, G. Tom Mac's 
"Cry Little Sister." 
     It got adrenaline pumping in the last
episode of the first season. 
      The second song here, "Sarah" by
Grant Lee Phillips, was in season one,
episode six and season two, episodes
11 and 12.
     The third, "Child of Mine" by Roger
Daltry was in season one's finale. It 
was also in season two, episode eight.
     I think the version on the CD, which
features G. Tom Mac, was in the latter.
     Not all of the songs featured in the
series are on the list, and the list 
indicates that.
     I can't remember any of the others
being in the show, but that doesn't mean
they weren't there.
     There was a version of "Don't Fear
the Reaper" in season one, episode four.
But I think it was by Blue Oyster Cult.
     On the CD, there's a version of the
song by Accidental Tears.
     There are four songs here by G. Tom
Mac, and I think the reason why is Edge
Artists is his label.
     But his stuff isn't the worst. It's better
than most of the stuff on here actually.
     If you were listening to it just to listen to 
it, and not to pick it apart, you wouldn't 
mind it. It's inspiring, and at times easy on
the ears.
     This is second song compilation created 
to celebrate the world of the Witchblade.
     The first was "Songs of the Witchblade: 
A Soundtrack to the Comic Books,"
released by Dreamworks in 1998.
     Maybe this thing should have been
billed as "Songs of the Witchblade Vol. 2"
or something. 
     Hopefully down the road, a CD 
compilation will do justice to the TV show,
which was filled with songs week after 
week.
