Various Artists – Play Misty For Me – Music From the Films of Clint Eastwood – Vinyl LP

High Quality, Coloured Vinyl, Limited Edition

The great Clint Eastwood first started his career as an actor, but later gained further prestige as a director with films such as Unforgiven (1992), for which he won the Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture, Bridges of Madison County (1995), and Mystic River (2003), among many others. Also a piano player and composer, Eastwood’s love for jazz and blues is apparent when listening to the music he chose for the soundtracks of several of his movies. In fact, he used Erroll Garner’s celebrated song “Misty” right in the first film he directed, titled precisely Play Misty for Me (1971). Presented here is a collection of classic jazz, blues, swing and country performances appearing in the soundtrack of some of his films.
