Here's some Neil Young

Young recording the score for DEAD MAN

Ebert was a fan ;p

"A mood might have developed, had it not been for the unfortunate score by Neil Young, which for the film's final 30 minutes sounds like nothing so much as a man repeatedly dropping his guitar."

^ That's ok. Ebert was a Philistine.


Such a truly haunting performance by Neil. I always get the itch to vibe to Mr. Young and dive into this film every November. Just feels right.

one of my absolutely favorite american films & scores.

Ah, so Neil followed the "elevator to the gallows" way of making a soundtrack.

Just watched that film earlier this year. low key funny and Jarmusch's signature slow burn quirky style. Liked it. The soundtrack fits the brooding hanging feeling of film.

Gotta say that clip's a little funny, though - if he's surrounded by screens showing the film, in that clip it really just looks like Neil's looking at the ground and/or his guitar.

Good listen:
(also talks about working with NY about 6 mins in)

Depp, Gary Farmer, Jim Jarmusch, Neil Young and William Blake. What a special brew/moment in time.

Iggy, Billy Bob Thornton, Johnny Depp; I bet they had some fun making that scene.
