Background Information
To promote the film “Cookie’s Fortune” and the soundtrack of the movie, a single was released in two formats in Europe. One version had two tracks, and the other version had four, but both contained the song “A Good Man” which features Bono on background vocals. It was recorded by David A. Stewart, of Eurthymics fame. Bono is listed as performing backing vocals on this track.
“Cookie’s Fortune” was a 1999 comedy by director Robert Altman. U2 had participated in previous soundtracks to Altman films, contributing by writing the song “Conversation from a Barstool” for 1993’s “Short Cuts” and contributing a remix of the song “Lemon” to 1994’s “Prêt-à-Porter”. For the movie “Cookie’s Fortune” the entire soundtrack was composed by David A. Stewart, formerly of the Eurythmics. Stewart after the break up of the Eurthymics became more focused on production and writing, as well as musical work with other bands. Over the years he’s become a close friend to Bono and the two have often worked together on projects. Stewart described his friendship with Bono and the Edge: “We’ve known each other quite a while, and we’ve been in many sticky situations, predicaments, and glorious moments”.
The Edge also performs on the soundtrack album, but that song, “Patrol Car Blues” is not found on the “Cookie” single.
