Comment:

I was left with a distinct feeling of dissatisfaction after the recent Coen Brothers offering.
Whether it was the Agnes character of the underdeveloped Carson Wells character, or both, I can't say.
A typical Coen flawed masterpiece, much like one of Dylan's 70s albums. And I would not replace the ambient music used with a soundtrack. However, as I'm reading the Cormac McCarthy book, these songs popped out at me as scene-appropriate throughout the film. I falied to mention that I mainly made this mix because I saw the flick by myself and have been jonesing to talk about it with somebody.

I'm not sure if T-Bone would have used two of his own, but doowad did. Hey, and Rob is right, actually the Ry will work better as the denouement by itself, plus I thought I had better add some of that nice Carter Burwell score in there...
The challenge here was to create a balance between what sounds properly together and what matches the story flow mßs o menos.

To live outside the law, you must be honest
Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's blood
La vida no vale nada, no vale nada la vida
