SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:32 Min.
The 1974-1980 NBC TV opening credits theme was composed by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter. Covering this theme as an extended cover is The Daniel Caine Orchestra for its 1999 instrumental tribute album, NYPD Blue: The Best of Mike Post.
REVIEW:
The Daniel Caine Orchestra does an outstanding job reviving “The Rockford Files.” It’s really an impressive replica of Mike Post’s work. For fans and/or 70’s TV soundtrack enthusiasts, one should consider tracking this cover tune. All is that missing is James Garner’s (as Jim Rockford) answering machine telling callers to leave a message on his voice mail.
BRIAN’S 10-STAR RATING: 8½ Stars
Note: Post’s original theme appears on 1990’s Television’s Greatest Hits, Vol. 3: ‘70s & 80’s album.
