Fans of both Neil Young's signature electric-guitar skronk and Jim Jarmusch's 1995 film Dead Man are in for a double treat as the soundtrack features all instrumental pieces provided by Young interspersed with memorable movie sound bites. Young plays with a haunting despondence throughout, turning up "Old Black" (his famous Les Paul) to create an exaggerated feedback that he wouldn't fully utilize until 15 years later on 2010's Le Noise.
