Lie Mf B Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm working on a remix of the Duck Tales Himalaya theme (NES), and I'm looking for more material to put into it. So I'm searching for game music with a country/western/hillbilly/bluegrass style. Let me know if you have any tips. I already know about Psycho Fox (Sega) and Gunsmoke (NES). All platforms welcome.

Jamphibious Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 - from Earthbound- from Mario Party 2There might be some tracks in Rayman Origins with that feel but I can't recall specifically. I know there's a bunch of different styles. Still its a great soundtrack so maybe look into it. The Sims has some country music as well. I'm sure there's more so I'll see if I can think of any more.

Cerrax Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Although it incorporates a lot of modern electronic sounds and beats into it, "western" sounding music to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Splint Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Can't post a link where I am right now, but YouTube Banjo-Tooie's Glittergulch Mine. Very lazy, hillbilly tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerrax Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Can't post a link where I am right now, but YouTube Banjo-Tooie's Glittergulch Mine. Very lazy, hillbilly tune. Pretty much all of the music from the Banjo games because, ya know, the main character's name is Banjo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I always loved the redneck elements in the Starcraft terran music. Although I always thought of Comix Zone as cashing in on the grunge fad at the time, someone else explained it to me as country rock and I suppose that could be true to some degree.

Xarnax42 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Surprised no one's mentioned Wild Arms yet. Someone may be able to highlight tracks that are more uptempo, approaching bluegrass style, but the entire OST has that western feel.

Annie Felis Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Pick a Wild ARMs game. Half their soundtracks are country-inspired, or at least spaghetti western-inspired. Heck, the main theme of the first game is a remix of the overworld theme, which is a cover of The Ecstacy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

MC Final Sigma Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Two themes come to mind: the Bears theme from Donkey Kong Country 3 and the from Twilight Princess.Otherwise, maybe the Harvest Moon games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohero Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Given the nature of the song you chose, why not go for a piece of music with a country vibe that accompanied another mountain-scaling level? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtZFsjnBwmU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Felis Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Dug up some tracks. List is long. From Shadow Hearts: From the New World: Heat Haze in the Distance Stealthy Hearts From Final Fantasy games: Shadow Farm Boy Mining Town Sandy Badlands Fiddle de Chocobo Super Mario RPG: Let's Go Down the Wine River Docaty Mountain Railroad Wild ARMS (these also count for the remastered/remixed tracks in Alter Code F): Into the Wilderness Hope Lone Bird in the Shire (remix of Ecstasy of Gold theme) Town Courage Alone in the World Oops... (Also known as "Wh-what?!") Whistle of the Warrior Uncertain Feelings Rushed Rudy's Companions Small Village (not on the OST, good luck finding it...I can't) Not A Plain Child but a Young Lady Port Town Milama Village (not on the OST, I only have it because I have psf game rips) Lucied's Maze (another track nobody has) Boomerang Flash Malduke's Victors (another missing track) Boomerang's Grave (yet another missing track) You might be able to find the missing tracks on YouTube if you can find a LP where the player isn't gabbing over everything. Otherwise I'd say just download the psf files for Wild ARMS. Wild ARMS 2: Main Title You'll Never Be Alone Going Out Dungeon - Ruins Type 1 Scene of Reminiscence Dungeon - Type 2 A Momentary Respite First Ignition Field - Roaming Field - Distorted Sky Town Where the West Wind Blows Western Village Harbinger of the Hurricane Dungeon - Natural Type Dungeon - Ruins Type 2 Heimdal Gazzo Valeria Chateau Battle - Knight Blazer Battle vs Kanon A Tinge of Regret Agony Resistance Line Wild ARMS 3: Just..everything. This is probably the most westernly of Wild ARMS games. Here's a link to the . It is however missing the vocal version of Advanced Wind, which can be found here.I'm sure Wild ARMS 4 and 5 are pretty much similar, but I haven't played them. You'd have to go digging around for those. Zelda series: Lonlon Ranch Horse Race Kakariko Village (OoT version) Ingo's Theme Ordon Goats (unfortunately all the Twilight Princess tracks are game rips since it lacks an OST, and some are recorded poorly) Taming Epona Hidden Village I'm sure I missed some things, but there you go.

Lie Mf B Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks a billion for all your suggestions. A lot of interesting stuff there! Unfortunately, I'm still at loss as what I'm gonna add to my song. I realized that "country" music necessarily won't do it. What I need is a good bridge (aka a middle eight) to put towards the end of my remix, something melodic that fits with the rest of the song. I've been listening to tons of other tracks but never found anything that works with the style and tempo (for instance, I tried to nick the end part of the Moon Base theme from Duck Tales, but the tempo was just wrong). EDIT: Here's the track so far, posted in a thread at the WIP forum: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=92905 Edited July 19, 2013 by Lie Mf B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi1001 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 If you need any more, there's also the Simian Acres (first level in the game) theme from Blast Corps for N64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
