I fully expect to have people disagree, but I have just gotten the soundtrack from "Quigley Down Under", and it has been some of the best money I have spent!

Like a French Rondelais (i.e., a piece of music that ends at the beginning), the whole thing is wrapped around a pre-rag dance form called a 'cakewalk'. The composer skillfully weaves that cakewalk through most of the soundtrack combining some old lullabyes and other songs that were from that period ....

I am listening to it now .... WOW!

Personally, I like Ennio Morricone's work. He scored all the "spaghetti westerns" we all love. I just bought a double CD set called, A Fistfull of Film Music. Awesome soundtrack. Good,  Bad the Ugly is one of my favorite Morricone films.

Wadd,

"WOW!" is right!  great soundtrack.  The only one I can think if that might beat it is "Last of the Mohicans".  That CD LIVES in the player in my truck.

M14MSgt,

I will have to looke up the music ... but I think I would like it .....

MossyRock,

I  have given one CD away outright, and loaned another one out so that I would not overuse it and become tired of it .... now that I am back from vacation, I will have to get the 'loaned' copy back ...*S*

You may also like the soundtrack to "The Long Riders". Ry Cooder did the music for the movie. I still have my LP and looking to replace with a CD

I always liked the soundtrack to "Young Guns II."  The soundtrack on "Quigley Down Under" is another great one; if you visit the Shiloh Sharps website, you can listen to some of it.

Playing all day here on The Fort Old West Shop sound system are my favorite soundtracks: Tom Selleck's Monte Walsch and Crossfire Trail, Lonesome Dove, Rough Riders, Quigley Down Under and Silverado...then repeat. Monte Walsch is up now. Take care.  :)

ok it`s older  ;)  but I like " The Man from Laramie " from a Western with James Stuart and the Melodie from a Western " High Noon " with Gary Cooper.

The Melodie from Quigeley Down under?  I like it too very.
