http://buysoundtrax.com/larsons_soundtrax_8-30_12.htmlThe three-hour History Channel miniseries series HATFIELDS & McCOYS, premiering last Memorial Day and recently released on DVD and Blu-Ray, is based on the true story about two feuding families who nearly launched a war between Kentucky and West Virginia. Starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton in the main roles, the series is scored by John Debney and Tony Morales, who, weave an updated classic western sound with rich melodies and Appalachian instruments. Simultaneously modern and classic, the music complements the gritty Civil War images and enhanced the relationships – antagonistic as well as romantic, between the characters.
I spoke to both composers at length about their work on the score, as well as other recent works, including John Debney's raucous score for the new action film, ALEX CROSS, and present both interviews in this month's column
