Free Music Notes for Midnight Cowboy: Original Motion Picture Score
Free Music Review: Midnight Cowboy
Hit: 5 Stars
I've had this soundtrack in its original LP form as well as cassette, and now the CD. This disc would be a welcome addition to any serious soundtrack collector's set. The CD works on many levels. Besides Nilsson's famous "Everybody's Talkin," there are hauntingly mellow tracks by British composer John Barry which, on their own, convey the loneliness and vastness of a big city. These tracks blended in seamlessly to the gritty New York City landscape of the film and reinforced the onscreen images. They also make for great listening by themselves. "The Florida Fantasy" segment has a nice comedic calypso beat to it. Rounding out Barry's compositions is the also famous soulful harmonica track, "Midnight Cowboy." Finally, we also get some energetic rock club music of the late 60's psychedelic era by groups such as The Groop, and The Elephants Memory. All in all, this is a highly recommended recording. One of Barry's best.Free Music Review: Just a great piece of work.

The soundtrack of Midnight Cowboy is an excellent film score and once again John Barry proved his talent as a film composer, conductor, and musical director. Barry composed some of the tracks and selected some, and arranged them--all to excellent effect. There's not a bad song on the soundtrack from any of the artists that recorded on it, and my only regret is that it's too short at some 37 minutes. I could listen for ever to Toots Thielemans playing the chromatic harmonica with Barry's orchestral backing as he does in 'Joe Buck Rides Again' and the theme for 'Midnight Cowboy'. Simply a great piece of work.Free Music Review: Early Barry Score Already Shows His Musical Quality
Hit: 5 Stars
While John Barry's musical interludes for Midnight Cowboy tend to be overshadowed by the film's other music, such as Everybody's Talkin', they clearly show the beauty and quality of Barry's music that we have now come to expect, and to which we look forward with each new film score. That quality is already present here; however, at 14 minutes and 17 seconds, there isn't a great deal of Barry's music to enjoy.Free Music Review: Real Favorite

My father bought this film on 16mm back in 1983 and played it every night in the basement. This was my fathers favorite film. The music is so beautiful and emotional. I get tears in my eyes every time I hear the soundtrack. Old Man Willow was one of my favorite songs. Dustin Hoffmans performance is unspeakable. This film is sooooo real life.. They just don't make them like this anymore.Free Music Review: Rapido, perfecto! (Soon, perfect!)
