The Morricone Collection: “The Big Gundown” (1966)

Mr Ugly comes to town! This 1968 recording from United Artists Records to the 1966 Lee Van Cleef (“The Good, The Bad, The Ugly”) Spaghetti Western picture, co-starring Tomas Milan (“Traffic”), and directed by Sergio Sollima (“Revolver“), is one of Morricone’s most fun, and surprisingly emotional scores.

I have a real soft spot for this picture, and it features another stand-out Morricone soundtrack. Expect a future post on this album.
