Daily Jam - Leaving Del Norte

Bruce Langhorne was a folk musician who played in the Greenwich Village scene in the '60s, most notably as a session guitarist for Bob Dylan on "Bringing It All Back Home."  In the early '70s, he also provided the score to Peter Fonda's western, "The Hired Hand."  Check out the lonesome, dusty "Leaving Del Norte" from said score below, our Daily Jam.

Bruce Langhorne

Way back in 1969, country and folk artist Bruce Langhorne scored Peter Fonda's directorial debut "The Hired Hands," and the result was a beautiful and desolate sounding piece of Americana.  Country music has always carried with it an air of sadness, but Langhorne's score takes it to its lonesome, desperate, and anguished conclusion.  The fine folks at Scissor Tail Records are reissuing the album, which you can pre-order here, and God bless them for it.  Listen to "Opening" below.
