About this album

Bob Dylan’s Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid is one of his most distinctive soundtrack works, blending spare folk-rock, country textures and short instrumental themes into a mood of frontier fatalism. Written for Sam Peckinpah’s 1973 Western, the album includes the enduring “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”, which became one of Dylan’s best-known songs and a major hit in its own right. The score moves between brief motifs such as “Main Title Theme (Billy)” and “River Theme”, giving the film an unmistakable sense of dust, distance and menace. It stands as a key example of Dylan translating his songwriting voice into cinema.
