Back in the early 1960's, Hollywood movie studios exhausted the concept of westerns. Hollywood westerns displayed rather tame action: a chase on horseback, a few bar room brawls, and the showdown at high noon became the cliche. Actors like Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewart and American icon John Wayne played characters with bravado but little emotional depth. Enter Sergio Leone, the Italian director who revolutionized the way western movies were shot, produced, and sounded. Leone brought in new, unknown Italian and American actors. Most famous of these is Clint Eastwood, who played Manco in the "Man With No Name" trilogy (A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly) of movies...
...Named "Euro-Westerns" or "Spaghetti-Westerns" by the public, these movies used a noir, more convincing style of filmaking. Gritty, sometimes fallible characters added to the realism of the picture. Now enter composer Ennio Morricone, the man who wrote the score and themes for many westerns (including A Fistful of Dollars, Guns Don't Argue, Two Guns For Ringo, among others). Leone, who was inspired by the German Composer Karl May, gave the viewer a sound of the "real" American Southwest, despite the fact most of Euro Westerns were shot on location in Spain. Sweeping epic-like themes soon appeared in Spaghetti-westerns and American westerns as well. Morricone incorporated electric guitar into the movie score, giving a modern touch to the films' music. Part Flamenco and part surf guitar, the music has probably become most associated with Spaghetti-Westerns as well as imitate. In the three decades since the decline of the genre, "Spaghetti-Western" surf music has evolved a "toughguy" reputation in the world of instro guitar rock 'n roll with it's outlaw/pistolero posing and "Morriconesque" sound.
