My wife and I just saw "Riders in the Sky" in Redding, Ca last evening. Just before intermission they played the musical track to "For the Birds" while the film ran on the theatre screen behind them. Until then I did not know that they had done the music for this film. With the music this little gem zips right along. Great music, by great musicians help make a great film.

Oddly enough, i decided almost as soon as the film began that the music was either by Asleep at the Wheel or (more likely, and correct) by Riders in the Sky.

Not sure why, either.
