Duke's Movie Soundtracks- Discussion

[Colorado Bob]

What the heck is wrong with me? I had forgotten all about Dimitri Tiomkin! I must be gettin' old or something!

[Jay J. Foraker]

That sounds like me, Bob. I seem to be the most absent-minded person around these parts at times .... now what board was I posting on : ?
Cheers - Jay :D

Hi,
Whilst on the subject of composers, perhaps it's worth mentioning,
two or three lesser known ones, for example:-

Richard Hageman, for
STAGECOACH
THE LONG VOYAGE HOME
ANGEL AND THE BADMAN
FORT APACHE
3 GODFATHERS
SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON

Emil Newman for,
BIG JIM McLAIN
ISLAND IN THE SKY
HONDO

and I previously mentioned Victor Young, for THE QUIET MAN
but he was also responsible for,
THE DARK COMMAND
THREE FACES WEST
REAP THE WILD WIND
FLYING TIGERS
SANDS OF IWO JIMA
RIO GRANDE
THE CONQUEROR

Oh and by the way, he wrote a little song, young and old might know,

WHEN I FALL IN LOVE

Best Wishes,
Keith

I didn't know Richard Hagman and Victor Young did the music for so many of Duke's films.

Hello

I found this soundtrack cd on ebay. Is this a new release or is it a reissue of the tracks issued by Elmer Bernstein with the Utah Orchestra some years back plus tracks from The Sons of Katie Elder CD which I think also originated from Germany?.

Hi Mike,
If it includes the song THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER
sung by Johnny Cash,
then almost certain, it is a re-release of the German
DIE VIER SOHNE DER KATIE ELDER,
Hope this helps,

[DukePilgrim]

Thanks Keith

I suspect it is a reissue. Rather an expensive one too.

Mike

Hi Mike,
This was available a few years ago at £15.95 from
THE JOHN WAYNE FILM SOCIETY,
Below, I have given you a link to them,
it may be worth checking, with them, to see, if they still,
have it stock

Thanks for the link Keith.

I will check it out

That new True Grit soundtrack looks pretty good. I was never real happy with the jazzed up version that was released.

At any rate, I am wondering if anyone has ever heard of a Rio Bravo soundtrack or a Chisum soundtrack. It seems to me that there is plenty of real good music in both films, and I think they would make great soundtracks. Especially if they (whoever "they" may be) were to include the opening of Chisum with the William Conrad narration, and on the Rio Bravo soundtrack they could include Dean Martin's rendition of the title song.

I've never heard of either of these films having a soundtrack CD or album made. How about any of you folks?

Best,
Colorado Bob

Hi Bob

I have never seen either an exclusive Rio Bravo or Chisum Disc, but if you go into John Wayne's music there is a CD in existence called My Rifle My Pony and Me issued by Bear records and includes Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson singing My Rifle My Pony and Me and Dean Martin singing Rio Bravo.

[ATTACH]639]

There is also by the same record company Rio Bravo which also includes My Rifle my Pony and Me by Dean Martin it also has four tracks by Frankie Avalon from the Alamo which are not very good and the Ballad of the War Wagon.

I have the sound track from Chisum which unfortunately doesn't icnlude the William Conrad vocal.

Like you I think it a pretty good piece of music.

I have also a three disc set entitled Wild Wild West which isn't bad and contains How the West Was Won The Comanceros Ballad of the Alamo and Green Leaves of summer and Rio Bravo (Main theme) & True Grit. The main details of this

Hello:
I am curious as to which soundtrack that is Chisum. If you have one I would surely like to get it. I have a site which shows soundtracks, 45's, compilations, sheetmusic, etc. Please give me information about the Chisum soundtrack or any soundtrack from John Waynes movies. My site is:

Howdy Mike,
I'm curious, where did you find or see a Rio Bravo soundtrack. I've been looking, but I can't find it anywhere.
Best,

Hi Bob

I was a French/German CD which was Red River and Rio Bravo. I think it originated from an earlier LP release.

I saw it on ebay recently I will try and find the ad for you.
