Once Upon A Time In The West: The Original Soundtrack Recording
One of the most lyrical Western movie scores from one of the all-time  greatest movie Westerns. Unlike the slightly more cartoonish music (in the  Raymond Scott sense) for Sergio Leone's earlier "Man with No Name"  Westerns starring Clint Eastwood (Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More,  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly),Once upon a Time in the Westis  epic in scope and elegiac in tone. Composer Ennio Morricone uses a haunting,  wordless female vocal on the main theme (and in the equally beautiful soundtrack  for Leone's companion gangster epic,Once upon a Time in America, many  years later) that sends chills down your spine and may even bring tears to your  eyes.--Jim Emerson
