Hey all, I was wondering if any of you knew of any music similar to certain songs from the Firefly soundtrack such as Big Bar Fight. Instrumental Westernish stuff. Any leads?

Well I don't have any specific recomendations but if you look in the bluegrass section of the music store you probably won't be disapointed. Actually most stores probably don't have a seperate section for bluegrass so look for a clerk who doesn't stare at you funny when you ask for it and take their advice.

Check out the soundtrack to the Jim Jarmusch movie DEAD MAN by Neil Young. Nice mellow instrumental western stuff, bit sad sounding though.

Hell Yes! The Dead Man soundtrack is amazing(only fitting for one of the most amazing westerns ever made!).
Might get a little old after awhile, not as much variety as the Firefly soundtrack, but still really good music.

If you play BF2, and if you Lose as the USA... That loser music REALLY reminds me of the Firefly theme song.... :P

It's not really like Big Bar Fight, but I've found that Nickel Creek's stuff sounds a bit like the theme song. Someone mentioned bluegrass; Nickel Creek is considered a contemporary bluegrass band and is worth checking out, I think.

Not quite a perfect fit every time, but Leo Kotke's got some good guitar-strumming fingers.

I've been working on my own list of songs that would seem to fit in the Firefly 'verse, some for their sound, some for their content, and some for both. Here's a few that struck me as 'verse-worthy:

I'll Fly Away - Alison Krauss & Gillian Welch
Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits (Think of the Battle of
Serenity Valley)
Orange Sky - Alexi Murdoch (Great song for Simon!)
Big Sky Country - Chris Whitley
Windfall - Son Volt
All The Pretty Horses - Calexico
Heroes - David & David
Friend Of The Devil - Lyle Lovett
Southbound Again - Dire Straits
The Devil's Right Hand - Steve Earle
Living With The Law - Chris Whitley
Tear Stained Eye - Son Volt
Sleepwalk - Santo & Johnny
Into the Mystic - Van Morrison

The only one that's really an instrumental is "Sleepwalk"; it doesn't so much fit the western-y theme of the show, it just makes me think of being "out in the black", as do most of the others listed. "Into the Mystic" doesn't really "fit", either, but just makes me think of being in the 'verse. 'Course, these days, MOST things make me think 'versally...
