Album Notes & Community Reviews

Remastered and expanded by La-La Land Records, this release offers the definitive version of John Morris's iconic score for Mel Brooks' Western spoof 'Blazing Saddles'. The music perfectly balances genuine homage to classic Aaron Copland-style Americana with absurd, theatrical comedy.
