Western game Red Dead Redemption was originally supposed to get in the saddle this April, but has been kicked off its horse and won't be riding into stores until May.
Developer Rockstar needs more time to polish the game, which *fingers crossed* means a better finished product. Still, that leaves us with some dead time this coming April. When you could be riding horses and shooting cowboys with our pistols, you'll probably playing other games, but still!
Here is the first part of a cowboy survival guide: music. Kotaku has selected a handful of tune that are bound to make you walk bowlegged, squint your eyes, smoke cheap cigars and drink strong whiskey — if you don't already!
Let's have a look, err, listen:
Ghost Riders In The Sky - Johnny Cash
The Man in Black, Johnny Cash, sings Stan Jones' iconic "cowboy legend" tune Ghost Riders in the Sky. Part outlaw, all poet, Cash was a true American original.
Rawhide - Frankie Laine
Composed by Dimitri Tiomkin, who also won Oscars for his [video=youtube;QoZ1e4iqGAE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELBlwP1fRQU&feature=related"]Alamo[/URL] and scores, Rawhide was sung by singer Frankie Laine. The show starred a young Clint Eastwood as well as John Ireland, who gave a fantastic speech in the Howard Hawks' John Wayne western Red River. Tiomkin also composed the theme for Yojimbo would later be remade into the Spaghetti Western A Fistful of Dollars by Sergio Leone and then Walter Hill's 1996 film Once Upon a Time in the West, [video=youtube;XxGntzAjixA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpZjvbSC9_M&feature=related"]A Fistful of Dollars[/URL], </img> </img> </img> </img>
