Bought this CD on "whim" ... great deal, neat / fun artists on it. I never watched a minute of the show (maybe "someday"!). Such a vast group of "talent" on here: A+ guitar picker Jerry Reed, cool vocalist Uncle Kracker, top band Los Lobos, hip-hop's Young MC and DJ E-Z Rock & Rob Base, popster Matthew Sweet, a strange, funny one-hitter from Sammy Davis Jr. even!, southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd, John Hiatt, late/great Harry Nilsson, a cool vocal version of the "Earl" T.V. theme song, and to finish it up ... a mosh pit inducing little ditty from the band Van Nuys called "99 RED Balloons" ( ... and original artist Nena is NOWHERE to be found on THIS version! LOLz!) that -MUST- be cranked UP in your car for the kiddies!! I've heard there could have been "more and better songs" put on this CD from the hit T.V. show but, I guess we'll have to wait for "Volume 2" !! .......... Get a great deal on it, and ENJOY!!Read full review

The music on the TV show is like a soundtrack to my life...and this is all they can come up with? Sure there are some unusual and little heard songs, but the remakes are horrible. I'm a big fan of Matthew Sweet, but his version of the ELO song is the single worse thing I've heard anywhere this year. If you need a few Jerry Reed songs, or Sammy Davis' ode to cigarettes, this CD is for you, otherwise, I'd wait for something a little more substantial.
I LOVE the show My Name is Earl, it is extremely funny and I really liked the music they would play during every show so I thought I would look up the CD. It is a great CD and give you a good mix of random music that are favorites and some are really funny old songs I never heard before. I highly recommend this CD for some good travel music.
