The vinyl was produced by 11-time Grammy Award winner Daniel Lanois, known for producing albums for Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson as well as collaborating with pioneering musician Brian Eno to produce several albums for U2 including the multi-platinum The Joshua Tree.
The soundtrack features music created exclusively for Red Dead Redemption 2 by award-winning artists, D’Angelo, Willie Nelson, Rhiannon Giddens and Josh Homme. Red Dead Redemption 2 boasts one of the best game soundtracks, having won Best Music at The Game Awards in 2018.
