1959 - BLACK SADDLE (main theme only; extended version newly recorded for Dick Powell Presents LP...there is also at least one pop cover, by The Revelairs)
There's also a great recording of the theme by Buddy Morrow and his orchestra on Morrow's album "Impact" (credited to Michael Hennagin and not Goldsmith). Morrow did also a recording of Goldsmith's "The Lineup" theme.
1976 - THE TRAVELING EXECUTIONER (set in the deep south in 1918; there are some westerny feeling parts though I wouldn't say it's in the genre overall)
Huh? Where did this erratum come from? The Travelling Executioner was from 1970, not the bicentennial year.
Check that JGOline thread we talked in; I have suites to all the "Gunsmoke" episode scores up he did.
There's also "Mr. Doc", a 1961 failed pilot for a series, that ultimately aired in season ten of "General Electric theater". "Western comedy about a pharmacist and his son at the turn of the 20th century."
Until the episode shows up online, I can't confirm the exact name of it, though. I've seen: "Mr. Doc" "Mr. Doctor" "Mister Doc" "Mister Doctor" And the IMDb Triva page also gives "Mr. Doc's Examination".
There's also another failed pilot he did, credited as Jerrald. I don't want to go look for it, but it's on his IMDb credits. I think it was another zooba find.

Fixed, thanks. I have no idea how that happened as I remember having the FSM CD page up to check! Oops!
And Justin, I'll hold off including Mr. Doc until we can figure out the actual title. I'll try to find it.

Another failed western pilot besides Prudence in the Chief? I couldn't find anything like that on IMDb...
Parts of The Flim Flam Man were used in the score for The Culpepper Cattle Company.
Was there anything else of Jerry's used in that film, or only Flim Flam?
Maybe some parts that are as close as a western score might get to that...there's some "nervous" piano playing (perhaps performed by John Williams, though we didn't run across any definite confirmation). But why not listen to excerpts of it for free in our humble podcast here?
You should. Like the film itself arguably, the score has much more of a film noir mood than a western mood, if that makes you any more interested in either. It might be Jerry's least "western-sounding" western score...it's all psychological and there really aren't any folksy elements, if that's one of the turn-offs of the genre to you.

Haha yes, though both Playhouse 90 scores we covered (neither of them a western really) both feature harmonica, just to warn you.
You may also like Face of a Fugitive at times (though perhaps not as much as Black Patch). Try this main title -- it's nice and dark and I detect some Rozsa influence:
