Danger Mouse And Daniele Luppi Rome: Starring Jack White And Norah Jones on LP

Some five years in the making, the long collaborative effort between celebrated producer Danger Mouse and Italian film composer Daniele Luppi is a record like no other. An homage to the spaghetti western film music that is a passion for both, 2011's Rome takes the original musicians from the Morricone scores of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West and augments them with revelatory vocals from Jack White and Norah Jones. It's an ambitious work with a uniquely modern sound achieved through traditional, vintage means. It is, above all, a fully realized album, perfectly formed and hauntingly beautiful.





"I started out wanting to make film soundtracks because of hearing music like this and I think Daniele was the same way, but when we went to make this album it wasn’t about a tribute or an homage or anything like that; we wanted to make a more modern, current album that had this as a really great backdrop to it. That would be different because I hadn't heard anyone do that before and so that element of it would be almost the scenery or the location if it was a film or something like that." - Danger Mouse





"What Brian and I tried to go for were epic feelings within the music – violence, passion, death, sadness, melancholy, love and happiness. Always very strong, epic feelings because I think Italians as people are used to having these emotions manifest. It's a very deep record." - Daniele Luppi
