5.0 out of 5 stars Three Amigos soundtrack!, October 14, 2006

By	J. Gelb (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are fan of the movie then listening to this helps you relive the experience. The soundtrack includes singing from Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short which is actually really good. A couple songs were written by Randy Newman. Then there is the wonderful classic western
score by Elmer Bernstein. After reading the liner notes I found out he scored classic westerns like the Magnificant Seven and John Wayne movies as well. My only complaint is some of the scores are too short, like under 3 minutes. I wish they let them go a bit longer because they flow so well. My 2 favorites on this are the "My little Buttercup" and "Blue Shadows" both well made and funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Film Score, May 12, 2009

By	Robert M. Burns (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The music is so fitting for this send-up of just about every black hat / white hat western ever made (with a particular nod to "The Magnificent Seven"), that to not have it for your collection of "Music for the Movies" is a real loss.

Randy Newman, as always in his film work, did great things for this movie, and had his tongue planted firmly in his cheek in reworking an old Roy Rogers tune, "Blue Shadows on the Trail"; yet the little cowboy lullaby grabs your heartstrings to be sure.

"My Little Buttercup" is a great little throwaway but should be seen as well as heard to be fully appreciated.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent substitute for the movie, June 26, 2008

By	R. K. Fryer (Washington) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Really fun quotes from the movie, don't really need the orchestral soundtrack though. Also, it's not in chronological order. With all my complaints, it was worth the money to have them singing the theme song. Love that!
