The Hired Hand

Classic 1971 Peter Fonda film soundtrack from Dylan side-man and folk scene impresario. Beautifully melancholy score performed with guitars, tonal effects, fiddle, banjo, sitar, and more that evokes high plains drifting, lonesome cowpokes. “It’s The West seen as Purgatory, its characters endlessly moving on, but Langhorne conjures beauty from the pain.”
