Song of the Day #2039

Song of the Day: The Hateful Eight (“L’Ultima Diligenza Di Red Rock”), composed by Ennio Morricone, can be heard in the 2015 film, directed by Quentin Tarrantino. It was the first Western—since 1981’s “Buddy Goes West“—that Morricone scored in 34 years. And it was well worth the wait! In 2007, Morricone had won an Honorary Oscar for his “magnificent and multifaceted contributions to the art of film music.” But this soundtrack, which won a Golden Globe, gave Morricone his first and only Oscar for Best Original Score.
