Music to Write to: Ennio Morricone - "The Trio"

Pretty much anything by Ennio Morricone will get my creative juices flowing. Lately, though, I've been listening to the soundtrack to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly on a loop. Although, the whole thing is great, "The Trio" (the second musical piece to play over the film's finale) gives me a huge boner. [This piece, incidentally is partially inspired by Dimitri Tiomkin's "Deguella", a piece written for Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo.]

oh man, Morricone is the BEST! If you're a Morricone fan, you should check out my Spaghetti Western Concept Rap album, "Showdown at the BK Corral" It's basically a Spaghetti Western in 9 tracks - and VERY influenced by Morricone. I'd love to hear what you think of it! You can download it for free at sunsetparkriders.com

Are you familiar with his Non-Spaghetti Western work? I highly recommend the Mondo Morricone set if you can find it anywhere. Phenomenal.
