- Check out our Behind the Scenes documentary of the recording and creation of the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack. Bill Elm and Woody Jackson, along with a team of accomplished session players put together a captivating reimagination of the old American West, and we caught it all on video with interviews and insight from the players as they recorded stem after emotive stem for the interactive in game soundtrack.
Even at the age Tommy was when he did this, he could still pull it off.
Rest in peace Tommy Morgan 1932 - 2022
he died last year? shame
The harmonica was always my favorite RIP
Do you think his surname was inspiration for Arthur’s last name?
@@lemmyspeaks probably
the brilliance of this game will never be compared to any other game
Charlotte Dark > Enter RDR 2
Then Red Dead 2 comes along.

When your music students say "hey watch this."
Thanks guys.
When?
Why?
Where?
How?
What?
I hope the soundtrack for RDR2 is as good as RDR. RDR soundtrack was absolutely amazing.
yajo891 True but this doesn't mean it will be better. Same happened with Oblivion to Skyrim
Just completed RDR2 and the music score doesn’t even compare to the previous game.
@@timterrell8678 better?
Nunya Biz The only great song in RDRD2 was, “Cruel Cruel World” by Willie Nelson. Red Dead Redemption had Far Away, Dead Mans Gun, Compass, etc. The music score as you ride your horse in the first was way more impactful and fit in in every setting. In RDRD2 they played loud trumpets during a Native American mission. Didn’t fit the setting.
@@timterrell8678 agreed
I would never go to an orchestra normally but if there was an orchastraical music event where they played RDR soundtrack I'd pay whatever it cost.
same here along with some of the score from GTA 5 as well. But Red Dead is something else!!
The Danish Orchestra is pretty damn good. They do a lot of the music from the Good, the bad and the ugly. They basically perform a lot of Ennio Morricones music.
Or ennio morricone or John Williams legends of soundtracks
rockstar, there was this one time when i went into mexico the first time you set foot on it, it was night, and when looking at the beautiful mexican landscape with all the stars and the moon in just the right position while listening to far way by Jose was one of the greatest times in my entire life.... thank you rockstar... and thumb up if you want rockstar to look at this thank you note
It was daytime in Mexico for me, but just as memorable as what you say.
I can also say the same for the part where the music plays after Dutch dies and you are about to see your family for the first time.

I swear this is still golden after a decade.
We thought there's no way to do better soundtracks... but with RDR2.. you know what I'm talking about.
RDR2 soundtrack is nothing on this…
As much as I love the second game... I think the original RD Redemption had the better soundtrack, RDR just had so much character and was absolutely overflowing with atmosphere.
Redemption 2 does sell the 1899 setting very well, but it feels less like a western and more like a game that happens to be set in the 1890s.
If they do end up remaking the first game's story in the second game as DLC, as many have been predicting they will, I really hope they bring back the old soundtrack with it, because so much of that game was in it's music.
The Arctic Gamer I think they certainly did explore more of a southern and Appalachian sound as opposed to a southwestern or “spaghetti western” type of vibe with morn horns and 60s guitar, but they do bring those vibes back in reprisals of tracks from the first game soundtrack and with a few ne tracks, at least on the score on Spotify
@@IridessenceX I mean, I do get what they were going for, and of course I love the second game's music too... I just like the first game a little more, it had so much atmosphere and character, while RDR2 feels a little... I don't know, less memorable I guess.
Part of it is probably nostalgia, but I also think that RDR was kinda lightning in a bottle, and part of me is glad they didn't even really try to recreate the first game's sound at all, except for those times where it was important to the narrative, such as bringing back John's theme for American Venom, or reusing some ambient tracks in New Austin.
I’d have to disagree just because of 4 songs in rdr2
1. American venom
2.thats the way it is
3. Red dead redemption
4. Blood feuds ancient and modern
The thing is that RDR2 is mainly in the East.
connor h I can just name the entire Rdr1 soundtrack against that. And in case you didn’t know, American Venom is just another version of the Rdr1 theme song.
When I'm in the desert I feel like I'm in the game and when I'm playing the game I feel like I'm really in the desert
Dig Nity are you high?
On a horse with no name!
@@mcj2967 la la la la la la la
They nail the score. I love triggernometry.
Did anyone notice that RDR2 is really lacking on this aspect of the first game? Most of the time I get so bored riding my horse in the second game while in the first I remember hearing these little sounds showed in the video while exploring the world..
Yeah, the exploration soundtrack in RDR2 isn't nearly as memorable, you'll go for ages without any soundtrack sometimes.
@@lukimarzi596 That pisses me off because the world in the second game is 1000x better, if they had made some soundtracks dedicated to exploring it I would never get bored
Yeah I felt the same when I first played it, I miss exploring with John in Mexico and hearing the beautiful soundtrack
gerbullo crolello I felt the same way RDR2 was amazing but you kinda knew how it would end given it’s a prequel,
yep, I’d say that the score as an album is really good but in the actual game when it came to exploring outside of missions and cut screens, there was definitely a lack in spontaneous sounds
3:06 you can spot someone using this at rhodes
Even in valwbrine train station
Jawharp
2:34 was basically a RDR2 leak
Why
How?
You stupid
@@arturoavila1582 that's not very nice to say
The beginning sounds like the theme at the end of the first rdr2 gameplayer trailer
1:50 I deadass replayed this part so many times 😂
congratulations woody and Bill. You deserve every bit of recognition creating this OST. I love both RDR and RDR2's ost so much
This soundtrack is haunting and intense. It's imprinted in my memory after countless hours of playing the game.
Red dead redemption 1 and 2 are fantastic westerns for old and young people in a new way of experiencing stories
RIP Tommy Morgan - June 23rd, 2022
this explains why theres so much love for the RDR sound track
This game is my all time favorite, the soundtrack is a masterpiece.
Such a good job, thanks Rockstar !
Aly Crunch far away is the best track :]
And now which is your favorite game ?
The bass tone in this game is top notch
The instrument at 2:46 is called a Marxophone.
NorthWriter i
Idc
@@YoungSauceXbox you should cuz fornite is trash asf
Hey man do you know the name of the 3:11 kind of piano?
I can recognise the instruments from the soundtrack.
Imagine all of this work and someone turns off the music while they play.
Their loss
I played 2 months without music to feel even more reslistic and damn it loses the magic
What a great idea to use stems in a game like that, very distinctive
2:12 so he had Sadie Adler's harmonica all this time.
I wish rdr2 music was more fun like rdr1 music especially triggernometry
Imagine working so hard on that soundtrack and then actuly hearing it ingame while you are playing it yourself that feeling must be so good
Rockstar is world class.
They, Polyphony Digital, GenDesign and Kojima Productions. Don't give a fuck about the rest.
Yeah, fuck the rest. It's about Rockstar here
I have some of this songs on my mobile just to listen at work, loved them since I finished the game
diegowolf89 me too!
I used to listen to the full soundtrack when doing school assignments
The behind the scenes is amazing to see where all the great sound is made. Honestly quite amazing to see that it is made the way it is giving us the western feel in the game
Until now, I didn't even realize how much the soundtrack reacts to the action
omg I was wondering at the start if that was Tommy Morgan!
I'm actually replaying red dead for the 4th time atm. hopefully by fall I've completed red dead and Undead at 100% or close to it lol
I'm already playing Red Dead Redemption 2
Disciple0fMetal wanna trophy
Anyone here on modern 2019 day?
We’re only 11 days into 2019. Overrated comment.
Ludarito27 damn dude chill
No,I'm from 1899. Just came to visit. I might bring back a few of these small devices called,"smart phones"
Yep. I just finished RDR2 and there's no "behind the scenes/making of" available. Yet!
can't believe 2019 was half a decade ago..wtf
1:50 This one is in Undead Nightmare
What is the name
That is truly so amazing. All the work that goes into every little bit behind these games and it just builds and puts more into the experience. Amazing.
at 2:22 that vibrato on his harmonica sounds EXACTLY like the tune thats played on this one twilight zone episode. I think its the one where the guy from the 1800s is traveling in his wagon with a fleet of pioneers , and he goes in search of water for his sick son, and then steps into tye 1950s by stepping over the rim of a mountain, and while hes there he gets medicine for his dying son. Its either that episode or the one with that drunk guy that sings “how dry i am” for booze, or some western themed one but im almost 100% positive its the first one i mentioned. its the same vibrato and the same exact tune and notes. I bet that was this harmonica player for sure!
It must be because that harmonica player (Tommy Morgan) worked on 2 episodes of The Twilight Zone.
I love these sound tracks. The first Red Dead had the first sound track that stood out for me in a game(that I can remember). I loved the character screens. I'll always recognize the music from these games.
10 years later... still unrivaled and unmatched.
Honestly this is how you make awesome music
Love RDR2 and the music, but the music for the first game will always be superior to me.
2:52 Coolest sound ever
Great game the sounds are so good they make you feel like you're living the game truly.
I kinda think that RDR music was better than what we have in RDR2...
SamuraiJack I found RDR soundtrack way more remarkable, RDR2 still a better game
In some parts I agree. RDR2 had lots of unique tracks that are truly great. But they choose to shift away from the more "spaghetti" approach in RDR2 so in my opinion the ambient tracks feel more vague and less memorable compared to RDR1. But other than that, all those songs that were specially made for the missions and certain parts of the game... Were simply supreme.
*SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!!!* I mean...dude did you at least play RDRII?
@Nathan Cormac hahaha did you even play rdr2? You fucking dummass
@@Daniel-jn2iu he is a dumbass for having an opinion? You're the dumbass here.
Such amazing work... RDR2 delivered just the same. Big time shout out to everyone involved.
Na red dead 1 had better music
Archie mac I agree. The atmospheric music that plays while you ride on horseback in RDR1 was beautiful. I especially loved the eerie music that would play when entering Blackwater. It gave off this vibe that the Wild West was dying out and technology, the government, and civilization was taking over.
Both games have their own soundtrack for their atmosphere both capture the eastern side of a western but rdr has a magic the second one was missing
you're witnessing the birth of a soundtrack to one of the best games of all time.... if not, the best!
I've literally played rdr1 since it came out I love it so much it was my first game I played when I was little it will always have a special place in my heart rdr2 is great but will never be rdr1
And that is why RDR1's soundtrack is better than RDR2
Where is read dead 2s music making of video?
Goosebumps 💛
RStar is the master of innovative open-world games. 👑
Not to sound like a critic or a know it all but Rockstar isn't the first company to do this mechanic. MGS2 had this feature already-when snake is hiding from enemies to getting spotted the music will change too.
Soundtrack really is a masterpiece
Tommy Morgan gave me goosebumps❣
Love stuff like this thanks for showing behind the curtain.
Who else here because the news about RDR2?
Marcus fuck off
Everyone
Nice. I can tell who are a**holes
Dude, what's your problem ? Seriously ?
You're an a**hole. No point in arguing with it
Back when rockstar cared.
This is absolute genius. A true masterpiece.
2:46 my favourite sound from the game
I love the first one it’s my grandads favorite game as well
I hope RDR2 has a soundtrack of equal caliber of this game
The sequel is here! :D
zDuo GamingHD I know this close
zDuo GamingHD or prequel :)
Only one week away 🤠!!!
Lmao it comes out for consoles tommorow
Im playing it right now
RDR and RDR2
Unparalleled Gaming Experience.
1:51 it sounds like when you reach Mexico in undead nightmare
Here after Red dead 2.... and rockstar did not disappoint. The soundtrack had me crying
Simply put; this is incredible.
2:27 Tommy Morgan 🤔
Is he related to Arthur?
RDR will always be superior to RDR2 when it comes to music
True
God damn, this is just one branch of an entire incredibly master level piece of art, it's insane- hats off to game creators.
1:23 supernatural hunter😂😂😁😁
LOL
This is one of my favorite soundtracks for film or game. Absolutely brilliant! The L.A. Noire soundtrack was amazing too.
See guys real skill pays off
This is awesome!!! The soundtrack completely blew me away! I was beyond impressed and fascinated by how the music was triggered and geeked out about it to all my friends!
the saddest thing is black ops sold more copies than this.... rockstar deserves tenfold of what treyarch makes.
I'm hoping to see a lot of vids like this coming out after RDR2 is released. Hyped!
RDR2 mastered the mission score, but RDR1 is still king when it comes to the ambient soundtrack.
Already loved the soundtrack so much. But seeing how it's been done leaves me just stunned and inspired!
May I stand unshaken
Greatest videogame i´ve ever played
For fuck sake this video has been in my recommended for a week
I'm glad they brought back Woody Jackson to lead RDR2..
This is amazing! Can't wait to hear their music again in RDR2. Next week!
Pretty much ignored the music early in the game, but man was it impactful as I became immersed.
These guy’s were cooking 😂
Awesome video; great to see the behind the scenes. All these years of re-listening to these tracks, why didn't I come across this video?
we should hire this composer for my game
I hope the future of red dead redemption series will be bright .
Wow, I can not believe this was 2010
Now we need a video for RDR2.
Triggernometry = O.P.
As much as I love rdr2, the first one had a much better and more memorable soundtrack
0:21 the nostalgia..
We need the American Venom behind the scenes
1:50
Idc what you say, RDR1 had a way better soundtrack
Probably a better soundtrack but not a way better soundtrack
@@edlerkrieger8045 No, a way better sound track
@@edlerkrieger8045 That doesn't have much sense but i think that RDR1 has a way better soundtrack ;D
They dont make behind the scenes videos like this anymore
3:43 SHEEEESH THAT BASS… GOOOSEBUMPS
Woody Jackson after 10 years
