 The most unlikely Billboard chart-topper in memory, the Juno soundtrack was centered on the uncombed, heartbreaking, hilariously frank songcraft of Kimya Dawson, whose hitches her deceptively childlike wit to addictive, folksy melody. With additional tracks by Belle & Sebastian and Buddy Holly, it was a near-perfect playlist of hummable vulnerability. This version adds a second disc that plays like a slightly lesser version of the first, with more material by Dawson (including the inspirational rant "Viva La Persistence") and kiddie music romantic Barry Louis Polisar ("Me and You"), plus assorted indie-rock chestnuts (Yo La Tengo's sweetly uplifting "You Can Have It All"). Like the movie, the set confirms that smarts and refined musical taste won't protect you from life's pain. But they'll help you savor the sadness....full text |

Besides being the surprise hit of 2007-08, as well as a surprise Best Picture Oscar nominee, Juno also spawned a massive hit from its low-fi, indie-pop-dominated soundtrack. The soundtrack became the first number one album for nostalgia purveyor Rhino Records, and they followed it up in April with an online-only collection of ”Juno b-sides”—15 songs that didn’t quite make the final cut of the film. Now the original soundtrack and b-side collection is being released as a 2-CD Deluxe package, just in time for the holidays.
Considering that the record label is Rhino, and that they have a sterling reputation for repackaging old material, I went into this review really hoping that my CD copy would include a booklet of liner notes from Juno director Jason Reitman and others involved in the soundtrack. These liner notes would explain why certain songs made the final cut and why others were ultimately rejected. Imagine my dismay when the promo copy included the 2 discs (on CD-R’s, no less), and a back cover with only basic credits and track listings. That was it. No copious liner notes, not even a piece of paper with a press release touting all the wonderful statistics and info about the Juno soundtrack. Hopefully, the folks in the record-buying general public will be treated better by Rhino than those of us in the press....full text |

| The deluxe edition of Juno pairs the original soundtrack with its digital-only sequel Almost Adopted Songs, adding an expanded booklet -- complete with notes by director Jason Reitman -- to the mix. Those notes are a not-too-tempting enticement for fans to buy this music all over again, but for Juno fans who have avoided purchasing the soundtrack this is a good way to get it all in one place (and to get that Almost Adopted Songs as an actual CD, too).
