Various Artists: The Big Gundown: Reggae Inspired By Spaghetti Westerns (TJCCD062)

Hey, an  era I can identify with perfectly captured on this CD, about late 60’s.  Along with Kung Fu movies Spaghetti Westerns were hugely popular.  I identified more wit the former – maybe there’s a CD to come – but I was certainly hearing all of these sounds.  Of course not all were good, in fact maybe only a few were, but it was the whole thing , it didn’t reall y matter.

The est was good though like Django Shoots First, Dollar in the Teeth, return of Django, Lee Van Cleef.  Of course the best of these charted and personified the Tighten Up suedehead/rudeboy of the day.

Good Fun!.

Compiled by veteran Reggae expert, Chris Lane, The Big Gun Down features some of the finest and most popular Spaghetti Western-themed recordings of the late sixties and early seventies. The bulk of the tracks are hard-hitting instrumentals, produced by two of Jamaica's most creative forces, Lee 'Scratch' Perry and Derrick Harriott, both of whom attempted to capture the rough and ready nature of the screen action in their music. It's no-nonsense, in-your-face Reggae with no punches pulled!
