CD. Condition: Good. Pops Roundup presents a Walt Disney view of the west in which soaring strings and horns evoke images from western movies rather than the actual west. The dyn amic music features all-new arrangements of classic western songs as well as the mes from television, films, and Broadway shows. Woodblocks create the clippity-c lop of horses' hooves, and other uncommon (for an orchestra) instruments such as harmonica and accordion crop up in places. An array of odd sounds, from whistle s to gunshots, add to the strong visual quality of the music. Two long medleys o f western television themes and fiddle reels bookend the album, with the latter receiving a positively whimsical interpretation. Pops Roundup is a soundtrack in search of a motion picture, and will give western film enthusiasts a serious ca se of deja vu. The CD reissue adds six bonus tracks. ~ Greg Adams.…
