Jeymes Samuel Unveils “Spaghetti Western” – a Bold New Compilation of Soundtracks Celebrating the Iconic Era of Italian Western Cinema

Visionary filmmaker, musician, and creative force Jeymes Samuel proudly unveils Spaghetti Western, an electrifying new compilation of rare and essential tracks from the golden era of Italian Western cinema (1963-1972). Created in partnership with legendary Italian soundtrack label CAM Sugar, the compilation will be available on all digital streaming platforms starting June 20, with Deluxe Boxset, 2LP vinyl and CD editions via CAM Sugar/UMe.

Personally overseeing every aspect of the release—from handpicking the 20 tracks from CAM Sugar’s archive vault of over 2,000 original scores and designing the official artwork, to producing original compositions and penning liner notes—Jeymes Samuel offers an immersive and intimate perspective on one of cinema’s most musically memorable genres.

In addition to his musical contributions, Samuel adds a deeply personal visual element to the collection through the hand-painted cover and inside sleeve art, created exclusively for this release. The project blends music and art, uniting timeless Spaghetti Western scores with Samuel’s own creative interpretations. Each track was carefully curated to evoke the rugged landscapes and heightened drama of the genre, while the artwork captures what these films ignite in his imagination- a visceral, visual journey into the wild, surreal beauty of Spaghetti Westerns.

“This isn’t just a compilation - it’s a love letter to the Spaghetti Western and the artists who transformed cinema forever. These soundtracks shaped my creative soul, and with this collection, I’ve blended timeless scores with my own interpretations to honor the genre’s raw beauty and bold spirit. It’s music, memory, and homage - an invitation into a world that continues to inspire,” said Jeymes Samuel, creator of Spaghetti Western.

The album features compositions by legendary names including Ennio Morricone, Piero Umiliani, Nico Fidenco, Gianni Ferrio, and Carlo Rustichelli, as well as unforgettable vocal performances by Alessandro Alessandroni, Caterina Caselli, Jula De Palma, and others. Among its treasures are three tracks that have never been released on vinyl before, along with three more that are making their digital debut. Adding a fresh layer to the collection are two entirely new songs written, produced, and sung by Jeymes Samuel. “The Light” is a hauntingly modern Spaghetti Western anthem, and “Unbroken”, which features a moving spoken word performance by Regina King layered over a sample of Daniele Patucchi’s “Lo Ammazzo’ come un cane (seq.14).”

“Collaborating with Jeymes on this project has been a true honor; his work transcends the idea of curation: it is a cultural statement, a poetic homage to Italian composers, and a profoundly human tribute to a genre often misunderstood.

"Throughout this journey, we’ve come to know not only a remarkable creative mind but a rare artistic voice, curious, generous, and boundlessly multidimensional. In Jeymes’ hands, a genre once overlooked or reduced to parody is reawakened in all its emotional and cinematic grandeur. His curation restores Spaghetti Western its dignity, reaffirming its rightful place in the cultural legacy of music and film,” said CAM Sugar.

The Deluxe Boxset offers a truly immersive experience, including a standard 2LP, exclusive 7” and 10” vinyl editions with the unreleased tracks by Jeymes Samuel, and an exclusive storyboard from The Harder They Fall illustrated by Dwayne Turner. The package also includes a beautifully designed booklet featuring Samuel’s liner notes and exclusive interviews with Regina King and David Oyelowo, along with a custom-designed dollar note featuring Samuel’s own portrait.
