Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (Music from the Original Motion Picture)

Editors’ Notes Who better to soundtrack an animated epic about a runaway stallion than Bryan Adams? On “Here I Am,” his vocals ache and then soar over a cantering rhythm and galloping guitar. “Get Off My Back” mixes ’80s rock thump with gleaming pop production, while dreamy orchestration glows on “Brothers Under the Sun,” a hymn-like tale of togetherness colored with brooding and billowing strings.
