Often cited as one of the greatest composers in the history of film, he won four Academy Awards, a Golden Globe, and twenty Grammy Awards, plus a posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995.
“Mancini Country” album, recorded in 1970 was somewhat unique for Mancini in that is was a big departure from his jazz oriented roots. The results are really really good and this "Easy listening" type album stands the test of time quite well. Could Mancini do "Country?" The answer is yes- and if your taste in country runs to the refined and laid back you will be pleased and perhaps pleasantly surprised.
No matter, this is country music that has many layers and textures that please the palate much like the grain in a fine piece of wood. Simple, yet the music here has a haunting quality that will make you want to hear it again, and yet again. A good value and a little known gem from 1970. Mancini could do country, and did it well.
