There s nothing on the packaging to indicate an orchestral score. Suzie Katayama s conductor credit is buried inside. But there s an orchestra nonetheless, and these three composers make good music. From now on, so things ll go quicker, I ll just mention Marty Stuart. Though all three composers are listed on the cover it s just Stuart that gets billing in the movie credit block anyway.
Tracks don t appear in the same order as they do in the movie.
It s not a problem though because the score never mimics specific actions on screen. It s used for mood instead. The setting moves from Texas to Mexico and back again, so the music sits on the border. There s a western flavor, mingling with sounds more South of the border. Strings and horns are prominent, but used in broad, melodic ways.
