Music reviews of Missouri Breaks

Music Review: "rustlers, shoot-outs, bounty-hunters and John Williams"
Rating: 5 Stars

Williams was between his Academy Award winning scores "Jaws" and "Star Wars", with "Missouri Breaks" - our composer writes a tuneful often sweeping treatment of the western-canvas - like his scores for "The Reivers" and "The Cowboys".

Of course the highlight - "LOVE THEME (FROM MISSOURI BREAKS)", sketched out by Williams with a gentle melody for solo guitar, chimes, electric harpsichord and harmonica - a bittersweet love song between Jane Braxton (Kathleen Lloyd) and Tom Logan (Jack Nicholson) interweave throughout the score. And the bonus tracks (Film Versions) is like finding a goldmine, your first impluse is to yell - "gold, gold, I just found gold".

Hats off to the people at Rykodisc - Ian Gilchrist (produced), Dr. Toby Mountain (art director/design/remastered), John Norman (original album engineer), Lukas Kendal (production assistant) and to John Williams (composer)...and for all you "film-score-buffs" and "Williams Fans"...this is a crowd-pleaser!

Total Time: 44:21 on 16 Tracks...Rykodisc RCD-10748...(1999)
