The regular Devil's Rejects soundtrack removes the dialogue samples of the DualDisc version, and obviously it doesn't have the bonus DVD. But it's still a solid set of music that captures the film's happily crass, drive-in proud vibe. Its artwork depicts the convicts, crazies, and shotguns that populate Rob Zombie's sequel to his 2003 cinematic debut House of a 1000 Corpses, and the mix of period album rock, air guitar faves, vintage honky tonk, and choice eccentricism is like a perfect radio road trip down I-65. (Perfect that is, if radio in America still mattered.) There are tracks from the James Gang ("Funk #49"), Three Dog Night ("Shambala"), and the Allman Brothers Band ("Midnight Rider"); Kitty Wells and Buck Owens chime in with "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" and "Satan's Got to Get Along Without Me," respectively. The set also features three selections from '60s British rock dark horse Terry Reid, "Brave Awakening," "Seed of Memory," and "To Be Treated." All three stand up well, suggesting Led Zeppelin's folksier side ("Treated" sounds a lot like "Stairway to Heaven"), but they could also be templates for 21st century troubadours like Ryan Adams and Damien Rice. Reid's also a creative, evocative choice next to workhorses from Joe Walsh ("Rocky Mountain Way") and Skynyrd ("Freebird"). Devil's Rejects closes with "I'm at Home Getting Hammered [While She's Out Getting Nailed]," from Banjo & Sullivan, a fictional '70s honky tonk duo that Zombie created for the film.
