| "Every gun makes its own tune", as Clint Eastwood quoted in The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly (1966). The year is now 2024 and on this new album Nasser fires his Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" (Clint Eastwwoods gun) thirteen times and each tune is a direct hit. It's long been a tradition with Jamaican artists to write western cowboy themed songs and use wild west imagery. The Upstetters with 'For A Few Dollars More', 'Clint Eastwood', 'Big John Wayne', 'Return Of Django'. Prince Buster with his album 'The Outlaw' featuring 'Cincinnati Kid', Jackie Mittoo and Harry J's Allstars did 'Hang 'Em High', Baba Brooks did 'Magnificent 7' and Laurel Aitken, who Nass worked with with The Loafers, had 'Jesse James', the list goes on. For Nass it was three movies 'Fistful of Dollars', 'For A Few Dollars More' and 'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly' that inspired these recordings. All three films directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood, but the reason they stood out from all the other cowboys movies of the time, was the epic soundtrack by Ennio Morriconne. It was without doubt the reason they were elevated to the three best cowboy movies of all time. |
