A classic multi-artist soundtrack capturing the late-1970s crossover between country, soft rock, and mainstream pop, driven by the success of the film Urban Cowboy starring John Travolta. The album brings together major American artists of the era and helped introduce country-flavoured pop to a much wider audience. Featuring chart hits and enduring radio staples, this soundtrack remains an iconic snapshot of its time and a highly listenable compilation front to back.
