This 2-CD set contains scores from three composers who knew how to write exciting, beautiful and memorable film music. The Great Jesse James Raid (1953) is a Lippert oater directed by Reginald Le Borg, and Bert Shefter wrote a solid score using a traditional (as in "enjoyable") western musical language. Over 40 minutes of music adds to the legacy of this gifted composer. The Baron of Arizona (1950) was Paul Dunlap's first film assignment, and he created a wealth of themes for this early Samuel Fuller picture starring Vincent Price. About a half-hour of music survived from Dunlap's personal audio collection, and it shows what an excellent writer he was. Rounding out the compilation is a wonderfully melodic western score by Albert Glasser for Last of the Wild Horses (1948). Although only 16 minutes of music exists, it reveals the "horror composer" in a completely different and hummable light! A 28-page illustrated booklet rounds out this great package!
