Danger Mouse and Daniele Lupi-Rome

Fresh from his most recent collaboration of Broken Bells, Danger Mouse produces another masterpiece collaboration album. Five years ago, Danger Mouse and Daniele Lupi decided to make this album five years ago, after finding out they both had a strong love for spaghetti-western music. As a lover of the movies and the music of Once Upon A Time In The West, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I think these spaghetti-westerns have some of the most and haunting and beautiful music.
Danger Mouse has been one of the music industry's most sought-after producers after he made the Grey Album; which mashed-up Jay-Z's Black album, and The Beatles' White album. After, Danger Mouse was also the producing half of Gnarles Barkley with Cee-Lo Green, and Danger Doom with rapper MF Doom. Daniele Lupi is an Italian composer and arranger. I wasn't familiar with his music before this album, but if his other music is anything like Rome, I'm sure it will be lovely. On this album Jack White and Nora Jones also lent their voices to a few of the songs. Jack White, who over the last decade has given us the most explosive and undying rock of the last decade, is fantastic in his small part on the album. His lyrics on Two Against One, also fit the theme of the album impossibly well. No woman would be more perfect for this album than Nora Jones. Her smooth and sultry voice is the perfect compliment to the classical guitars and the deep rich bass. It came as no surprise to many that such a beautiful album came from these artists. After listening to this album on repeat, I have started wearing a poncho, started smoking a hand-rolled cigarette, and have started talking in a raspy voice. "You see in this world, there's two kinds of people, my friend; those with loaded guns, and those who dig."
