...notes in the 1995 documentary Ennio Morricone, it was one such chart--a raspy, twanging version of Woody Guthrie's Pastures of Plenty for U.S. singer Peter Tevis--that director Sergio Leone asked be adapted for his new western. Remove vocal, add whistling, rev up the guitar volume, and you have the theme for A Fistful of Dollars. This worldwide hit made the careers of Leone, Morricone and the obscure actor who played the Man with No Name. A guy called Clint Eastwood...

Their third release, “Friend and Foe,” opens with the richly layered “Muscle ’n Flo.” Its dynamic rhythm and slide guitar give way first to a shifting piano melody and then again to an organ surging beneath. The album’s disparate songs reveal a scattered but captivating personality. Band members Brent Knopf, Justin Harris, and Danny Seim are each multitalented musicians, and their experimental arrangements range from saxophones and glockenspiels...
