Did not think I would like this movie but I was wrong.

See You Around (Cowboys & Aliens) - YouTube

#1 is "High Noon" By Tex Ritter". #2"Quigley had good music.

Tex Ritter with High Noon is great but I think my all time favorite is from The Searchers with John Wayne. Written by Stan Jones and not sure who what group sang the title song but I would suspect the Sons of the Pioneers

Magnificent Seven.

It was the music for my high school's fight song. I've long forgotten the words but can still hum the music.

Frankie Laine (?) "He Rode a Blazing Saddle".

Does "Paint Your Wagon" qualify as a Western?

Clint singing? That's gotta rate something...

"Whatever the bid is, I'll double it!"

Ditto here and--it was the Sons of the Pioneers. I love all their stuff. "Festus" (Ken Curtis) was the lead in the group for awhile--also took over an orchestra that was led by Frank Sinatra.

I dont bad-mouth Clint but will say--im glad he stayed with Acting and Directing. )

On the other hand, did you ever hear him play jazz piano? He used to do that quite well.

True Grit Remake

Iris Dement - "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms." As remakes go, this was a very good one and the spare, gospel song was the perfect accompaniment to the story.

The Brits do love the western movies, it seems. In some rather odd ways.

That I have. ) I watched a doc of sorts that was about him and the movie: Bird.They showed him paying the piano and I thought he was very good. His Son,Kyle--writes the music for most of his last several movies.

Lee Marvin singing "Wandering Star", got to see that flick in boot camp. Our Battalion Sergeant Major tossed us a bone cause my platoon all qualified, with the M-14. He Told us he served and fought with private Marvin on Saipan.

 

[Damn Yankee]

I like the theme from the Movie "Shane"
