![]() ![]() The result was a commercial bonanza: The album reached the Top Ten and went gold, becoming the second most successful soundtrack LP of the year, after the Nino Rota score to Romeo and Juliet. The soundtrack album also featured some dialogue and sound effects from the film. Only Capitol Records held out, so the Band's version of "The Weight" was replaced by a near-copy recorded by Dunhill act Smith. When Easy Rider became a successful film upon release, a decision was made to release a soundtrack album, and most labels agreed to license their tracks to Dunhill/ABC. Roger McGuinn, making his solo performing debut, contributed new recordings of Bob Dylan's "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" and his own specially written "Ballad of Easy Rider," actually co-written with Dylan, who was not credited. ![]() So, the film's music consisted of such 1968 rock radio favorites as Steppenwolf's "The Pusher" and "Born to Be Wild," the Band's "The Weight," the Byrds' "Wasn't Born to Follow," and the Jimi Hendrix Experience's "If Six Was Nine," with such humorous changes of pace as the Holy Modal Rounders' cosmic folk song "If You Want to Be a Bird" and Fraternity of Man's marijuana-smoking behavior guide "Don't Bogart Me." Hopper had little trouble persuading various record labels to grant the screen rights to these songs at a time when re-used rock wasn't heard much in movies. (In the liner notes to the 2000 CD reissue, Hopper claims that he canceled a proposed Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young score when he became enamored with his own selections other accounts claim the film studio insisted on the music used in the rough cut.) Even then, director Dennis Hopper didn't have much special music written, instead mostly using songs he'd heard on the radio in 1968 while he was editing the film. It turned out to be a telling portrait of America's cultural divide in the late '60s, and no small part of its impact was the soundtrack music, which eschewed a traditional score (the filmmakers couldn't have afforded that, anyway) in favor of rock music. Easy Rider was the surprise box-office hit of the summer of 1969, a low-budget film about a couple of hippies who use their profits from a drug deal to drive their motorcycles across the Southwest and attend New Orleans' Mardi Gras celebrations, encountering adventures and tragedy along the way. ![]() ![]() ![]() 6676x4320px game, PC, Best Games 2015, sci-fi, Sid Meiers Civilization: Beyond Earth - Rising Tide, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px colorful, filter, Civilization: Beyond Earth, strategy games, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px Civilization: Beyond Earth Pax East 2014, Civilization: Beyond Earth, artwork, Pax East 2014, video games, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px Movies, Civilization: Beyond Earth, Colorful, Strategy Games, Filter, Woman, woman carrying helmet poster, movies, civilization: beyond earth, colorful, strategy games, filter, woman, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px Harmony, Supremacy, and Purity logos, Civilization: Beyond Earth, collage, video games, HD wallpaper.2560x1600px Ender's Game digital wallpaper, space, stars, earth, the moon, white, planet, astronaut, window, helmet, spaceship, 2K Games, Firaxis, Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px artwork, Civilization: Beyond Earth, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px woman wearing motorcycle suit holding helmet looking at cityscape buildings between body of water, Civilization: Beyond Earth, colorful, strategy games, filter, HD wallpaper.2560x1600px Civilization Beyond Earth Purity-Game High Quality., HD wallpaper.1920x1242px Civilization, Civilization: Beyond Earth, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px Civilization, Civilization: Beyond Earth, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px Civilization: Beyond Earth, collage, video games, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px LedLines wallpaper, Civilization: Beyond Earth, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px astronaut near the door digital wallpaper, Civilization: Beyond Earth, video games, science fiction, HD wallpaper.1920x1200px Civilization, Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px gray and black satellite over earth, Civilization: Beyond Earth, science fiction, HD wallpaper.1920x1200px Civilization: Beyond Earth, PC game, Civilization, Beyond, Earth, PC, Game, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px gray castle illustration, Civilization: Beyond Earth, artwork, video games, HD wallpaper. ![]() 1920x1080px Civilization: Beyond Earth, video games, HD wallpaper.1366x768px Rio de Janeiro Christ the Redeemer Future Civilization: Beyond Earth Fog Mist Buildings Skyscrapers HD, video games, earth, buildings, the, skyscrapers, fog, mist, future, de, rio, beyond, christ, janeiro, civilization, redeemer, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px Civilization: Beyond Earth, Colorful, Filter, Strategy Games, HD wallpaper.3440x1440px Civilization: Beyond Earth, video games, ultrawide, ultra-wide, Civilization, HD wallpaper. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tammy Gibson is a travel historian, author, and writer. ![]() And we want to provide that,” said Michele Ghee.
