dk2m posted:I have developed a love for ambient country or whatever the hell it's called. Basically, I should feel like a loner walking through the desert of Arizona with my horse named Apache and a bad attitude. Ry Cooder's Paris, Texas soundtrack, some of Sumner McKane's work (even though he tends to go the more post-rock route), Daniel Lanois' soundtrack to Sling Blade are just some examples. Something about the sparseness of the twangy, reverbed out guitar and the beautiful slide guitar sound just sends chills up my spine. You might want to check out A Small Good Thing. They're very ambient and often veer into straight up ambient electronic, but for the most part their music sounds like it could be a soundtrack to a western. Which is what I look for in ambient country or whatever. I'd recommend the album Slim Westerns. I can only find 2 tracks from them on Youtube, one is pretty ambient and not much country, the other isn't from Slim Westerns. But whatever! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NX5smbZ8Bo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwMfa-Bj6og You might also like the album A Stable Reference by Labradford. Again, they're not strictly ambient western but they still have that same sort of sound as A Small Good Thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCNnS5DtjBc Now listen to this because it's the best ambient western (okay maybe it's not that ambient) song I've heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShUc6gto4sQ I'm probably biased because No Country for Old Men is my favorite movie of all time and probably my favorite anything ever, and that song comes after an hour and 55 minutes of almost no music what so ever. It's just a perfect song to end the movie with.
