 GUNLESS
Original Soundtrack by GREG KEELOR
www.gunless.ca
Dist: Warner Music Canada
Gunless is the new Canadian comedy that pokes fun at the American Wild West, the Hollywood Western genre, and most importantly, the Canadian stereotype of a people who are passive, polite, and affable to an annoying fault. Starring Paul Gross as The Montana Kid, the movie also features an original soundtrack composed by Greg Keelor. Guitarist and singer Greg Keelor is best known for being one half of the songwriting duo responsible for that Canadian music institution known as Blue Rodeo.
“At last a Western that reflects the Canadian experience with its unique migrations, its hinterland law and order and its rugged civility; all told with an underlying sense of humour that reminds us why Canada still rejects the culture of handguns,” was Greg Keelor’s take on GUNLESS.
