West Goes To Pop - A Ringo-Beat Cocktail Collection (Cinevox Record - 2004)
Le Western Spaghetti a deux arbres qui cachent toute la forêt: Sergio Leone et Ennio Morricone. Il faut dire que leur ombre est sacrément imposante et intimidante. Au point que la bande-originale de western est quasiment devenue synonyme du nom du second. Tout un tas de petits maîtres, pas forcément moins talentueux, sont ainsi passés au second plan, du moins pour le grand public. Si connaisseurs et collectioneurs se battent pour acquérir les B.O. signées Luis Bacalov, Piero Umiliani, Franco Bixio, Bruno Nicolai ou Guido & Maurizio De Vangelis, ils restent bien les seuls. C'est donc tout le mérite de West Goes To Pop que de réunir 16 chansons originales signées de ces seconds couteaux, voire tâcherons inspirés, de l'illustration sonore. Tous dans une veine country & western/pop et folk, je me dois de reconnaître qu'en fait peu de morceaux se détachent réellement du lot et dépassent le cap du simplement sympathique ou de l'anecdotique. Ce sont les trois premiers morceaux du disque les meilleurs: Ehi Amigo C'E' Sabata de Marcello Giombini est une intéressante variation psychédélique autour d'une trompette mariacchi. La ligne de basse de Lo Chiamavano King de Luis Bacalov est, elle, furieusement sexy pour un western. Quant à la chanson titre de Django de Luis Bacalov, elle bénéficie surtout de travail de réhabilitation critique de ce chef d'oeuvre crépusculaire et nihiliste signé Sergo Corbucci.
West Goes To Pop is a compilation of 16 songs from obscure spaghetti westerns from the 60's and 70's. Some are signed by real but forgotten masters of this game: Luis Bacalov, Piero Umiliani, Franco Bixio, Bruno Nicolai or Guido & Maurizio De Vangelis. The best songs are the three first of the record: Ehi Amigo C'E' Sabata by Marcello Giombini, Lo Chiamavano King and Django, both by Luis Bacalov.
