Rockstar Reveals The Talent Behind Red Dead Redemption II's Official Soundtrack

Composed by Woody Jackson, Red Dead Redemption II's soundtrack is soon getting an official album release. Jackson previously worked on several past Rockstar titles, including the original Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire, and Grand Theft Auto V.

The evocative score has additional production and arrangement by Jeff Silverman (Truth and Soul) and other musical score and orchestration by Colin Stetson (Hereditary). Other notable contributors include David Ferguson (Johnny Cash’s engineer), David Ralicke (Sons of Anarchy), Gabe Witcher (True Detective), Luke O'Malley, Mario Batkovic (of Geoff Barrow’s Invada), Matt Sweeney (Chavez, Superwolf, Iggy Pop, Bonnie Prince Billy), Rabih Beaini and Senyawa, along with 110 other musicians including Arca (Bjork, Kanye West, Frank Ocean and Kelela collaborator), Duane Eddy (Lee Hazlewood protégé), Jon Theodore (former drummer of Mars Volta and current Queens of the Stone Age drummer), Michael Shuman aka Mikey Shoes (Queens of the Stone Age, Mini Mansions) and more.

Grammy Award winner Daniel Lanois who has produced albums for Bob Dylan and Neil Young also played a part in Red Dead Redemption II's soundtrack by entirely producing the vocal moments. Speaking of vocals, there are notable artists who lend their voices such as D’Angelo, Willie Nelson, Nas, Rhiannon Giddens, Josh Homme, plus a track written, produced, and performed by David Ferguson.

All the songs for the score and soundtrack were produced exclusively for Red Dead Redemption II. Rockstar doesn't have a release date for the upcoming official album, but teases that more information should come soon.

The genre hasn’t always been as ubiquitous as its current success suggests, however. While Doom is often remembered as the game that kickstarted the first-person shooter craze, Wolfenstein 3D paved the way for its sci-fi sibling to come screaming into existence. However, Wolfenstein is more than just a stepping stone. Over the years the pulpy WW2 has changed several developers’ hands, constantly transmuting and bouncing all over the place tone-wise, but has never lost its identity, even when both Medal of Honor and Call of Duty arrived, choosing to wallow about in arcadey violence instead of following the more realistic and procedural design of more modern WWII titles for two decades. With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus out in a few weeks’ time, we thought it pertinent
