True Grit Music Examples

This music was composed for a game launched to tie in with the Coen Brothers' remake of the film "True Grit". Like the new film, the game is darker in tone, going back to the original book for its inspiration. The game has a number of levels set in different environments, and some "mini games", all with different background music.
