Billy two hats is great. Terrific theme with a scottish flavour as main character played by Peck is called Arch.
Billy two hats is his indian partner.

Blue was good but the score in the film was better than the LP. it was rougher and the LP was smoothed out.

I'd love to hear Cliff Eidelman's take on a western. Also Christopher Gordon.
Once upon a time I would've said Marco Beltrami. And then we got at least three unique western scores from him...3:10 to Yuma, The Homesman, and most "odd" and brilliant of all, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. I hope Tommy Lee Jones keeps directing westerns and keeps having Beltrami score them, but I will admit I'd love to hear what Beltrami could do in a more conventionally sweeping western setting. He's shown he can do epic orchestral themes on multiple scores, Hellboy in particular.

Bobbengan, thought you might suggest John Scott, but then I checked his scores, and I see he did Billy Two Hats which isn't a score I remember. Some of his other scores like Shergar make me think he could do a great western score.
Joan, I assume you haven't heard Scott's WALKING THUNDER and NORTH STAR in that case? Amazing western scores of his from the mid-90's. Check them out, they're too of his most sweeping later works:

BILLY TWO HATS John himself gave me, in full, and in truth it doesn't do much for me, though it is indeed "odd and unique" (and couldn't be more different than the two above samplings).
Great call on Chris Gordon as well, Yavar.

I really wish Shirley Walker had had a chance to write one...she wrote a bit of western-tinged music for Batman: The Animated Series and it was awesome.

Yes, "The Forgotten" in particular was incredible.
Some of her score for John Carpenter's Escape From LA had a bit of a western flavor as well.
