This has always been a favourite western score of mine by Jerry Goldsmith, even if the main theme wasn't actually composed by him.
I like its lived-in, outdoorsy feel and Bronco Bustin is one of JG's standout cues in his whole career.
I saw him perform it live with the National Phil at Maida Vale back in '89. Stunning concert.
That Ryan O'Neill interview just backs up my feeling that 95% of actors either haven't got a clue and/or don't give a shit about the film once they've moved on to their next pay cheque.
I remember the film being okay, if a tad slow, miserable and overlong. I haven't seen it in years.
I have the LP and also got the LP programme on a two-fer CD that was released, but the FSM edition is the be all and end all of this score for me.

I really like the bonus unused Sheb Wooley vocal.
I was interested to read in the notes that his performance was originally meant to be the original title song, but even though they dropped it, Wooley's name still appears in the movie's titles.

I remember buying the original LP (and loving it) and some years later buying it again (on MCA LP?) because it had a couple of extra score tracks.
Am I remembering that right?
And then the first CD issue was the LP programme (coupled with another score), until the FSM edition blew everything else out of the water.
Three of my All Time favourite westerns by JG are STAGECOACH, CABLE HOGUE and this score, and there's quite a bit of 'bleed' between all of them in their sound, but especially between WILD ROVERS and CABLE HOGUE, so there must be something in the potion that stirs the magic for me.

Bought the LP the day it came out--I think it was the same week as The Last Run. Missed out on the FSM CD. Hopefully, it will get re=leased by somebody.

Hi Thierry,
Yes this was a wonderful job you done and I still have the one you kindly sent me all those years ago before the FSM one arrived.
Lyn
Thank you Lyn for your kindness.
You happened to be very generous with me either, with a lot of stunning memorabilia over the years.
But you did way much more: you gave me some special access to the maestro himself over 20 years plus (1989-2003) at all his UK venues, this beeing totally priceless for me!
I will never forget this, Mr Chairman of the Goldsmith Society!
Thierry
