I have to admit I'm kind of a western buff, both in movies but also the lore and pure ruggedness of the western United States. The selections presented here are some of the best samplings of music written for film and television dealing with that subject, a true cross section of what makes the west so appealing for filmmakers and the audience. It's true that some more enduring themes in music, and film music more specifically, are from westerns like The Magnificent Seven, A Fistfull of Dollars, The Professionals, and The Big Country, and rightly so, since never has a musical genre encompassed describing so perfectly the character of the people and landscape and environments they inhabit like the western.
