All the music you associate with westerns came from the same composer. A friend played me an album of his music and all the now-tropey hits were there. I don't remember the composer's name, but it shouldn't be difficult to find. Just blew my mind that it was all one person.
Ennio Morricone
Lets also not forget Morricone's friend and collaborator Bruno Nicolai.
He was every bit as influential to the spaghetti western and Italian movie scene.
