Album Notes & Community Reviews

The American orchestra leader scored a massive international hit with this album of re-recorded themes from Ennio Morricone's iconic Clint Eastwood films. Utilizing electric guitars, whistling, and wordless chanting, Montenegro perfectly captures the sun-baked, menacing atmosphere of the Italian westerns. The massively successful release played a crucial role in cementing the Spaghetti Western sound within the global pop consciousness.
