[Brokeback Mountain]'s pace is deliberate, its passion muted, its language sparse. To complement that feel, and indeed to generate it, Lee turned to Santaolalla to write both songs and score. Brokeback Mountain is one of those rare instances where the film was shot to the music; Lee has said that every evening during filming, he listened to Santaolalla's music to make sure he was getting the right mood.

"The movie soundtrack, featuring haunting ballads and lilting fiddles and rock-hard C&W, runs the gamut of emotions."

The credits end with the melodic strains of Rufus Wainwright's "Maker Makes".

Santaolalla's underscore is definitely underplayed in [Brokeback Mountain], although its influence is strong. Its Western simplicity will not turn heads for those orchestral score fans, and Brokeback Mountain is therefore not recommended for that crowd. Santaolalla's ensemble consists of acoustic guitar, slide guitar, and a small string section. Very minimalistically rendered, Santaolalla returns to the same chord progressions (a theme of sorts) over and over again, never varying the content much but definitely sending us off with an inspiring flourish of this theme in "The Wings" (a highlight cue for the entire year, despite the score's overall shortcomings) Link

"...the music poignantly captures the characters' loneliness, wide open spaces, and 'a love that will never grow old.'"

Several songs on the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack, e.g. "King of the Road" and "I Will Never Let You Go," have a rockabilly quality.

Def: a combination of rock 'n' roll and hillbilly music

"The atmosphere of the soundtrack is marked by a down-home blend of folk, bluegrass, and country sounds. Steve Earle contributes a newly-recorded (just for the film) version of the upbeat country rocker "Devil's Right Hand," while Mary McBride's "No One's Gonna Love You Like Me" (another new song) features a retro bluegrass vibe.
