Spaghetti Western maestros

Anyone who's ever watched a spaghetti western from the 60s and 70s know how iconic the music is. Ennio Morricone is deservedly the best known of these composers, but there were several others who wrote some great scores.

Recently watched a film called Texas Addio and this music from Anton Garcia Abril has been happily galloping through my head. Some of the guitar riffs almost have a surf guitar feel about them.

Yes. I haven't watched an old western for a while, but I remember how great some of the soundtracks to them are...were.

My favorites and favorite are by Ennio Morricone, but I can see how that one would be happily galloping through your head. ☺️
@Piper Morricone's Good the Bad and the Ugly is one of the great movie scores ever.

@robingoodfellow I think it is, too. It's the one I was referring to as my favorite.

The music composed was better than some of the westerns they accompanied as well! LOL
@WillaKissing yes very true!

@robingoodfellow Music written very nicely, but the script was written by people dropping acid.
@WillaKissing a lot of them are very over the top, almost comic bookish and laughable. But there are titles that work very well. I thought Texas Addio was pretty good, despite the usual cliches.
Ever checkout "The Great Silence"? One of my favorites and the last DVD I’ve spent money on.
@BlueSkyKing no, have not seen it but I will now! Sergio Corbucci, must see it.
Thank you.
@robingoodfellow Klauz Kinski too.
