Ways Red Dead Redemption 2 Perfected the Wild West Genre

Big Country Music and Twang

The best Spaghetti Westerns are iconic for a multitude of reasons, including their classic western soundtracks. That’s something that Red Dead Redemption 2 emulates incredibly well, with a fantastic soundtrack that sets the mood and tone impeccably. The score uses plenty of string instruments, woodwinds like the flute, harmonicas, and other instruments to give the music that western twang that it needs.

From the vocal songs like See The Fire in Your Eyes to the train heist music, every song in Red Dead Redemption 2 contributes to that overall feeling. Bill Elm and Woody Jackson have done a commendable job making the soundtrack in Red Dead Redemption 2 feel like something that’d feel right at home in any Spaghetti Western.
