Joan, did you ever mention this film/score in passing on another thread? If not you, then somebody see must have, because I remember reading some praise for it and then seeking it out and ordering it. I certainly don't regret the purchase, but then, I've never regretted listening to anything by Mr. Holdridge.
(And you now have only two degrees of separation from him, since I met him when he conducted the soundtrack for Rozsa's DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID.)

I love Lee Holdridge's Western scores, Buffalo Girls and Texas are two of my favorites. I love those bold, expressive themes. I also love his feature score for Old Gringo. Dude knows Westerns.
Joan, if you haven't heard Texas, you should!
Holdridge did a lot of exceptional scores for television movies. Into Thin Air: Death On Everest and The Tuskegee Airmen spring to mind (I remember tuning into HBO for the beginning of the latter, and being blown away by that soaring main theme).
Joan, I don't know if you saw this thread, but there is a piece of (non-film) music we're discussing that I think is right up your alley: http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=107296&forumID=1&archive=0

Old Gringo is more subtle. If you see the (pretty good) film it was composed for you'll appreciate it a lot more.
