How to Buy Ennio Morricone
Rob Chapman, MOJO, March 1999
ENNIO MORRICONE single-handedly redefined our musical definition of the Western. Nobody can make jews harp and whistling sound more awe inspiring or one duck-call and a plunking banjo sound so funky. But dozens of Westerns Spaghetti and otherwise that Morricone scored in the 60s and 70s represent only a fraction of his prolific output, which most discographies estimate to be around 400 albums.
