The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis is the official soundtrack album to the movie of the same name.[4] Cave and Ellis composed all the music. According to the CD liner notes, Cave played piano, celesta and other keyboards, while Ellis played violin, viola, guitar and keyboards. Furthermore, some songs featured percussion, a small string ensemble and other instruments.
The album is the second film score collaboration between Cave and Ellis, after their work for the 2005 soundtrack to the film The Proposition.[5] Cave and Ellis are bandmates in Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, with Cave a founding member from the band's 1983 formation and Ellis joining in 1997.

Unreleased songs
There are six untitled score pieces composed by Cave and Ellis which do not appear on the retail soundtrack. They include:
2 pieces from the end credits of the film, played after "What Must Be Done"
2 pieces available for listen on the official website (tracks 12 and 13), streaming audio.
1 piece played during the DVD menu and heard throughout the movie, a slightly quirkier rendition of the track "Moving On".
1 piece, notable for being the eerie, vacant sound heard during the intense moments in the film, such as: when Jesse holds up his lantern awaiting the Blue Cut train, when the screen introduces "April 3rd, 1882", and when Bob sees the headline of the newspaper on assassination day.
Cave and Ellis released a double disc album titled White Lunar in September 2009, which contains several tracks from the Jesse James score, as well as tracks they composed for other films up to 2009.[7]
