Music for Space Western?

[Lindel he/him]

I'm planning a roleplaying campaign that I'll be running with my friends, and I want to put together a playlist of background music to set the mood. The campaign will be a Firefly-esque space western. I've already pulled some songs from Firefly, obviously, as well as the soundtracks from Bastion and Titanfall, and I'm thinking about using a couple from Journey. I'm looking for additional suggestions. I'm especially in need some more intense songs that still have a similar flavor but would work well for combat. Any ideas?

Try possibly Defiance

@Lindel The themes from old Westerns like The Magnificent Seven, True Grit, or The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly could set the mood.

Or any song by Johnny Cash.

There are songs from firefly that would work.  That would be my suggestion.  Srry I'm so late to the party btw

Perhaps the soundtrack for Cowboy Bebop.

beat me to it.  though honestly, that soundtrack might only work for Cowboy Bebop.  Trigun's soundtrack may have some more generally useful numbers though

Checkout western movie soundtracks by Ennio Morricone. Seriously, whenever western is involved, Ennio Morricone is the ultimate answer. 

[HelloMyNameIsDrBloodborne]

The Mars soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.
