Dragon’s Domain Records presents OLD GRINGO, featuring music composed and conducted by Lee Holdridge (THE BEASTMASTER, SPLASH, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST) for the 1989 period adventure drama. Released in 1989, OLD GRINGO is an epic story of power and passion set against the historical backdrop of the Mexican Revolution. Directed by Argentine filmmaker Luis Puenzo , OLD GRINGO stars Jane Fonda, Jimmy Smits, and Gregory Peck, all of whom play strong-willed characters who are involved in an unusual love triangle. Fonda plays Harriett Winslow, an American schoolteacher/spinster who has abandoned her passionless existence to teach at the hacienda of a wealthy Mexican landowner; Smits is Arroyo, a general in Pancho Villa’s revolutionary army, which occupies that hacienda with his troops; and Peck is the old gringo – cantankerous 71-year-old American writer Ambrose Bierce who is on a quest for adventure...

Lee Holdridge was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 1944. He spent his early years in Costa Rica, beginning music studies on the violin at the age of ten with Hugo Mariani, then the conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica. Later, Holdridge moved to New York to continue his music studies and begin his professional career as a composer. Holdridge’s successes in New York came to the attention of Neil Diamond who brought Holdridge to Los Angeles to write arrangements for his forthcoming albums. A string of Gold and Platinum hits followed, which led to Diamond and Holdridge collaborating on the film score for JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL. Since that time, Holdridge has scored numerous film such as SPLASH, BIG BUSINESS, MR. MOM, MICKI & MAUDE, 16 DAYS OF GLORY, SYLVESTER, A TIGER’S TALE, EL PUEBLO DEL SOL, OLD GRINGO, PASTIME and BROTHERS AT WAR. His television work include MOONLIGHTING, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, the complete eight hour remake of EAST OF EDEN, DREAMER OF OZ, Hallmark Hall Of Fame’s ONE AGAINST THE WIND and THE STORY LADY. Lee also began a very successful collaboration with Moriah Films, the film division of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, with the Academy Award winning documentary feature film THE LONG WAY HOME. In addition to his film career, Mr. Holdridge has had an extensive repertoire of concert works performed and recorded. He has also worked with many major recording artists having written, arranged and conducted for Placido Domingo, Barbra Streisand, Brian May of Queen, Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond, John Denver, Neil Sedaka, Daniel Rodriguez, Al Jarreau, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Natalie Cole, Jane Oliver and many others.

Originally released on compact disc by GNP Records at the time of the film's release in 1989, Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring OLD GRINGO back to the marketplace in a two disc expanded presentation, featuring liner notes written by author Randall Larson. Disc 1 contains a brand new stereo remix of the score in its entirety, accomplished by Matt LaPoint, under the composer's supervision. These cues were taken from the multi-track masters originally recorded at Burbank Studios in 1989 and contain the complete film score in the original show order, along with several cues written and recorded for scenes that were deleted during the final editing of the film. Disc 2 features the original soundtrack album master released in 1989. These tracks have been newly remastered for Dragon’s Domain Records by James Nelson at Digital Outland.
