True Grit was really good but my favorite western is The Assassination Of Jesse James. For a couple of years now I've been just listening to the soundtrack while I work. If you haven't seen this movie you should.Further information: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (soundtrack)
The music for the film was composed by Australian musicians Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. Both men also collaborated to create the award winning score for the Australian film The Proposition in 2005.
Nick Cave has a minor part in the latter stages of the film, playing a strolling balladeer in a crowded bar, where, unrecognized by the other patrons, Bob Ford must endure the humiliating lyrics of "The Ballad of Jesse James" as performed by Cave
Cave and Ellis released a double disc album titled White Lunar in September 2009, which contains several tracks from the Jesse James score, as well as tracks they composed for other films up to 2009.
