Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid · 1973

Turkey Chase

A lively instrumental from the "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" soundtrack, driven by fiddle and banjo in an old-time country style.

The words

Fiddle and banjo race along in a bright, rollicking old-time tune full of chase and fun.

This is the most high-spirited piece on the soundtrack, an instrumental in the manner of a country hoedown. Fiddle and banjo trade the quick melody over a steady, galloping rhythm, giving it the feel of a frontier romp. Its playful energy stands out against the slow, mournful themes around it. As film music it suggests a moment of horseplay and freedom before the story darkens again.
