One of the loveliest and most lyrical symphonic scores of the early 1970s comes to CD in deluxe form in Jeremiah Johnson (1972), the Sydney Pollack-directed, John Milius-scripted western starring Robert Redford as a 19th century mountain man. The gorgeous, folk-symphonic score to Jeremiah Johnson was composed by John Rubinstein and Tim McIntire; between McIntire's efforts as a singer-songwriter and Rubinstein's gifts as a symphonic composer and orchestrator, they created a lasting piece of Americana centered around several original songs (sung by McIntire) essaying Jeremiah's story.

Previously available only on LP, the complete score to Jeremiah Johnson has been restored from excellent stereo sources to present a main program generally following the LP but omitting the dialogue that appeared on several tracks. A comprehensive bonus section includes those dialogue-laced tracks, plus alternate instrumental cues from the original soundtrack and the complete demos which the composers used to secure the assignment. Liner notes feature an essay on the film and score by Nick Redman and program notes by Al Kaplan incorporating new interview material with Rubinstein by Jeff Bond.
