Cinematic Western-Inspired Songs

This week, Steve picked songs connected in some way with the genre of film known as "westerns". Either they directly reference the west such as being a cowboy, or they use samples from famous western films...or they use familiar cinematic western film score tropes that were introduced by such composers as Ennio Morricone.
In this show you will hear Thin Lizzy, Hoodoo Gurus, Eighth Route Army, The Shadows, Big Audio Dynamite, Richard Barone, The Boys [UK], The Godfathers, Calexico, Ennio Morricone, Federale, Kool Moe Dee, Hank Marvin, Spindrift, Los Straitjackets, The Spacemen, Gene Pitney.
