Norman Jewison thirties drama with Steve McQueen carries flavorful score for orchestra plus solo trumpet, harmonica. Southern 1930's color, jazzy feel all captured in great main theme. Features original Ray Charles title song, all-new digital recording of score with newly reworked material, cues not contained on original 1965 MGM soundtrack. Instrumental versions of main tune are exciting highlights. Conducted by Lalo Schifrin. Knockout!
