Song of the Day: El Chacal by Carlos Puebla

Song of the Day: Main Title Theme From Dirty Harry by Lalo Schifrin


Today’s song of the day comes from 1971’s Dirty Harry. Composer Lalo Schifrin’s moody score remains one of the best cop film scores of all time.  It’s efficient, relentless, and deceptively low-key, just like “Dirty Harry” Callahan himself.

The Shining (1980, dir by Stanley Kubrick, DP: John Alcott)

For today’s song of the day, we have the title tune to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.  The Shining is a classic horror film and features one of Jack Nicholson’s most iconic performances.

Enjoy the greatest road trip music ever recorded.
