LMH Mixtape #261: The Old West 2

After over two hundred episodes later, our cowboizz have rode back into town to share a second round of Old West tracks.  That means games or stages within games that have an Old West theme, and as you'll see, this waterin' hole hasn't run dry yet.

The journey begins with "Scenario 4" from Gunple: Gunman’s Proof.  This track features a great whistled melody which is a classic trait of Old West soundtracks.  "Face With Courage (Town Stage 2, Forest Stage 1)" from Sunset Riders has that iconic galloping beat, perfect for chasing down a train full of no good scoundrels.  "Wanderer" from Live A Live also has a great whistled melody, but in addition to that, listen for the fantastic use of church bells and a mouth harp to really give it that authentic old west sound.  So round up your posse, because we're hittin' the ol' dusty trail and hunting down some of the most wanted tracks in all the land!
