5.0 out of 5 stars Broughton has done it again, superbly, on this soundtrack., July 8, 1999

By A Customer

For those of you who don't know, Broughton also composed the music for Silverado. Again, he brings to Tombstone that Coplandesque, frontier feel that is uniquely the American West. From the opening title The Cowboys, to the end title Looking at Heaven, Broughton creates and maintains the feel of Tombstone of the 1880's and the times of the Earps, Holiday and Clantons. One of my favorite pieces is A Family. From the first strains of this track, Broughton brings forth a feeling of family, happiness and a foreshadowing of the sadness that the Earps will meet in Tombstone. Another wonderful track is Fortuitous Encounter. Here is the high spirited feel of the west that reminds one of Aaron Copeland and what makes the West what it was. The tracks are all first rate and well worth the listen to.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's all questions now. . . ., September 24, 2002

By	Steffan Piper (Palm Desert, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I believe the song that Kilmer was playing at the piano was Chopin's Valse Opus 64 no. 2, however I cannot fully confirm this as Broughton and co. has saw fit to leave this off of the soundtrack. What a pity, most of his compilations are usually complete.

If anyone is aware of the Chopin piece, please be nice and email me.
