Days of Thunder is the soundtrack from the film of the same name, released in 1990 in the U.S. by Geffen Records and internationally by Epic Records.
"The Last Note of Freedom" was co-written by Hans Zimmer, Billy Idol and David Coverdale.
Maria McKee's "Show Me Heaven" was released as a single alongside the movie.
The album is also notable for the inclusion of Guns N' Roses' cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", a year before the song was released with a slightly different mix on the 1991 album Use Your Illusion II. The version recorded for the soundtrack featured these spoken word responses in the second verse, which are omitted from the later album recording:
Momma put my guns in the ground (It wasn't their fault)
I can't shoot them anymore (How were they even supposed to know?)
That cold black cloud is coming down (All things can be healed in time)
Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door (What, why do they screw with us?)
The Cher song "Trail of Broken Hearts" was released in the single "Love And Understanding" and belongs to the recording sessions of her 1991 album Love Hurts.
The song "Gimme Some Lovin'" is credited to Terry Reid, but the version in the movie is actually from The Spencer Davis Group. "Gimme Some Lovin'" also featured on Reid's 1991 solo album, The Driver, along with an alternate version of "The Last Note of Freedom" with different lyrics, titled "The Driver (Part 2)".
