Ask B.K. Day:
I just finished The Magnificent Seven with its great Elmer Bernstein score. What are some of your other favorite scores for westerns, spaghetti and all?
I've met very few western scores I don't like. Some favorites are The Big Country (Jerome Moross), The Searchers (Max Steiner), One-Eyed Jacks (Hugo Friedhofer - available on Kritzerland), The Sons of Katie Elder (Elmer Bernstein - I almost like this better than The Magnificent Seven), The Cowboys (John Williams), True Grit (Bernstein), High Noon and Red River (Tiomkin), and many others.
