Gli Intoccabili

Ennio Morricone - CD - Rating: 7/10

Gli Intoccabili opens with the tense and pounding, “Ballad of Hank McCain.” It’s reprised three more times on the record and I love it every time. The song feels like a spaghetti western pop song alá “Lonesome Billy” or “Keep Your Hand on Your Gun” but with a mafioso vibe. Unfortunately, a huge chunk of the record after that gets way too mellow. We’re talking quiet dinner music mellow. I love lounge music but even I have my limits.
