Rating: - Tams, doing his thing!
Before watching Sharpe I had never heard of John Tams, and quite frankly my music collection was the poorer for it! This album is a fantastic mix of score from the shows and traditional folk songs of the period performed by Tams and his mate Barry Coope with an amazing guest performance from the wonderful Kate Rusby. A must have for all fans of John Tams, Kate Rusby, Sharpe and great British folk music!

Rating: - Well worth listening to
It's perhaps not the best album you'll ever buy,but for Sharpe fans it's a must.
The arrangements are a bit different from the TV series, but so what. John Tam's rendering of 'Over the Hills' and 'The Spanish bride' are brilliant. Equally so the tunes covered by Kate Rusby.
I personally don't think the tunes by the military band add anything, but I still love the album. You can always use the skip button on your CD player!

Rating: - Different in a good way
Ok so as other people have said, it isnt necerssarily true to the TV series, over the hills and far away loses some of its charm, however I still find this an excellent album.

John Tams' music is excellent, and I found the Regimental/ Military music a nice change from the usual folk CD's. Collier Recriut sounds fantastic sung by Kate Rusby, likewise it was nice to hear the full ... Read More

Rating: - THERE SHOULD BE MORE OF IT !
Being a confirmed "SHARPE" fan ,when Amazon offered the CD I jumped at the chance of buying it, particularly as I had not seen it offered in Australia. I was undetered by the very adverse comments contained in some of the reviews, and generally speaking. I was glad I was.
Thee really should be more of offering embracing as it does both military and social history. Apart from "SONGS AND MUSIC OF THE REDCOATS" -which appeared in vinyl and was inspired by the seminal book of the same name -it seems ... Read More

Rating: - The Peninsular War condensed into 52 and a half minutes of musical enjoyment.
I've been re-watching Sharpe, and having long-admired the music of the series, decided it was about time I bought the soundtrack.
I must admit that having read the mixed reviews, it was not without a sense of trepidation that I ordered the CD.
I'm happy to report that it lived up to my expectations, and more. From the opening bars of "The Overture" to the closing track, "Sharpe's Song/ Sharpe's Theme", I was captivated and transported to that time and place many of us have grown to love: Spanish ... Read More
