Back Lot Music lanzará la banda sonora original para la última película del director, productor, co-guionista y protagonista Seth MacFarlane, la comedia A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) y que ha sido compuesta por Joel McNeely.
Además ya esta disponible la canción principal de la película, A Million Ways to Die, que ha sido interpretada por la superestrella country Alan Jackson y escrita por McNeely y Seth MacFarlane. También el álbum incluirá la canción If You’ve Only Got a Mustache, basada en la canción de Stephen Foster y con letras adicionales de MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin y Wellesley Wild.
En referencia al trabajo de McNeely para la película, MacFarlane dijo: «I was beyond elated upon first hearing the music that Joel McNeely had composed for A Million Ways to Die in the West. Here Joel brings us a classic, Elmer Bernstein-style Western score that presents itself as a key element in the overall tone of the movie.»
En cuanto a la banda sonora en su conjunto, MacFarlane dijo: «The music is expertly mixed by Rich Breen, the man with the unmatched ear who sculpted the sound of Music Is Better Than Words, and of course our title song is sung by Alan Jackson, who, like Joel, plays it with unabashed honesty. I hope you enjoy Joel McNeely‘s great score as much as I do.»
Sobre su experiencia McNeely comentó: «Composing the music for A Million Ways to Die in the West has been a creatively rewarding experience for me. Seth MacFarlane is a director with all of the sensibilities and ideas of a trained composer, whose insights and ideas flow through the score. I was inspired to write an original score that harkens back to the glory days of the great Westerns, one that is big, bold and thematic. There is nothing I love doing more, and it’s been a great thrill.»
El álbum saldrá a la venta este 27 de mayo sin que todavía hay transcendido la duración del CD o su listado de temas.
