Lewis, Lovett + Waits vs. Ross + Singer

Not to be chauvinistic about the musical performances given by Annie Ross and Lori Singer, but I think that Robert Altman used poor judgement when he didn't have musical performances given by Huey Lewis, Lyle Lovett and Tom Waits. If he had included a couple of songs from each of these three, he would have had a sound track album that might have earned as much money as the movie did. I bet all three of them would have gladly contributed to the sound track and I imagine that they had all ready recorded songs that would have been perfect for some of the scenes. I kept waiting for Waits to join Ross as she sang the blues during one of the nightclub scenes, Huey could have sang something to Robbins when he took Susie back from his kid and Lovett could have sang an appropriate ballad when he learned that Casey had passed.
