Couldn't find the name Richard Gillis in a Mudcat search.

Watched a movie called "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" a few days ago. Directed by Sam Peckinpah. Jerry Goldsmith did the score, apparantly in collaboration with a songwriter named Richard Gillis.

A link to a page with information about the soundtrack.

An interview with Stella Stevens (female lead in "Cable Hogue") was on the DVD I watched, and she talked about the music briefly. She said something about Gillis playing in a bar where Peckinpah and his people drank, in Hollywood, I assume. She said Peckinpah liked Gillis' music and it ended up in the film.

Anyone know anything about Richard Gillis?
