Nice to see some Porcaro getting released. He is not well-represented in that matter.

I miss this wonderful series, maybe my favorite ever. Aside from "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive", the music for the show never really connected with me. It worked within the show itself, but no cues really stood out as "gotta have this" tracks.
That being said, it IS great to have some of the score tracks released, and this may be one to pick up. Maybe being able to focus on the music alone will help me enjoy the score .
And to the Emmys, ya know, screw you guys. Not a single nomination for the final season? Olyphant and Walton Goggins never won for their brilliant work and that is a stunner. And how the f*ck does something like the awful, awful American Horror Story ( first season ) win a slew of awards and this never took a best drama ?
However, the show DID win a Peabody award in 2010. This, from the Peabody site, summarizes why the show was so damn good:
In the opening sequence of the first episode of Justified, Raylan Givens, a Deputy United States Marshall, confronts a polished, sophisticated drug dealer at a posh Miami restaurant. Givens has issued an ultimatum — get out of town or die. He pushes and goads until the dealer reaches for a pistol, draws his own, and kills the criminal. So begins the central question that drives the continuing narrative of the series: When is this kind of moral judgment, this kind of violence, this kind of “law enforcement” justified? Givens is “punished” for his action by being assigned to his home state of Kentucky, and there questions of justification multiply. They extend to matters of family, romance and political intrigue. Old ties and deep personal relationships compound the ambiguities central to the stories. These topics, too, are often circled or invaded by violence, but they are also defined by custom, history and tradition— as well as by moments of superbly subtle humor. In many ways Justified draws on all the conventions of the Western. From Raylan’s big hat to the significance of property and place, we are reminded that some regions remain “unsettled.” For merging past and present, for requiring viewers to consider old problems while being thoroughly entertained, a Peabody Award goes to Justified.
Rant over. Thanks for the heads up on the score release.
