Deadwood Music: Updated For All Three Seasons!

[Note: This entry was originally posted back in '04. Since that time other Deadwood fans have added music from Seasons 2 & 3 in the comments section below.
Special thanks to Tim Copsa for putting the whole three-season list together. See last comment on this entry for that comprehensive list.]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HBO has finally added some information, in their news section, on the music played as the Deadwood credits roll.  Since many people Google for information on the music  [edited to add there was a link here that is now dead so here's a list for Season One instead--don't have Season Two..sorry]

1. Deadwood: "Hog of the Forsaken": Michael Hurley
2. Deep Water: Creek Lullaby: Margaret
3. Reconnoitering the Rim: Twisted Little Man: Michael J. Sheehey
4. Here Was A Man: Fallen From Grace: Mark Lee Scott
5. The Trial of Jack McCall: God and Man: Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry
6. Plague: High Fever Blues: Bukka White
7. Bullock Returns to the Camp: Old Friend: Lyle Lovett
8. Suffer The Little Children: Will The Cirlcle Be Unbroken: June Carter Cash
9. No Other Sons and Daughters: Stars and Stripes Forever: Jelly Roll Morton
10. Mr. Wu: Hog of the Forsaken: Michael Hurley
11. Jewel’s Boot is Made For Walkin’: Snake Baked A Hoecake: Mike Peggy Barbara and Penny Seeger and their Children
12. Sold Under Sin: Farther Along: Mississippi John Hurt

*Edited for update*What the HBO site didn't tell me, much to my chagrin, was who did the fabulous theme song.  I love that song, it has a Gaelic-influenced sound to it that I really like.  I never fast forward through the song when I am re-watching recorded episodes because I love to listen to it and watch that opening montage of images, with the pretty horsey running around throughout.  The combination of the haunting music and images is very hypnotic and gets me in the Deadwood zone.
I was so pleased to stumble upon the composer's site today, totally by accident.  I just clicked on a referring site and there was David Schwartz's site. Serendipity, baby!  Anyway, I wasn't surprised to find that he has composed lots of other cool songs that I like, including the theme song for Northern Exposure, which was one of my faves.

by the way, the music link is disabled on the HBO site...

You have written: "9. No Other Sons and Daughters: Stars and Stripes Forever: Jerry Roll Morton"

That should be "Jelly Roll Morton"

["Garry Owen"]

Was the song played at the end credits "Garry Owen" from season 3, episode 9 the Martin Simpson acoustic version from the album "When I Was on Horseback" (searchable on iTunes)? I haven't watched the episode in a while, but this version seemed the most plausible of the ones I listened to on the site.

[Ripley]

I just found this site; very helpful, thanks all. Something to add: the song at the end of Amateur Night (3.9) is "Did You Ever Meet Gary Owen, Uncle Joe?" by Bela Fleck, from Tony Trischka & Bela Fleck: Solo Banjo Works, Rounder Records, 1992. Great version, great use of it in the episode. Originally an Irish rebel tune, used by Custer's Seventh Cavalry as a march song. Oh, and... fuckin' HBO.

Hi.

This should be higher up the rankings.
I will add this to wikipedia, if you have ANY issues with me doing so, I'll be happy to remove.

Link shall be provided with the information ... if it's not already there!

What is the song that they play at Wild Bill's Funeral, and Jane Hum's it when she's helping Andy with his smallpox out in the woods? From "here was a man" episode. TIA

[BigRipper]

Who/What song is being played at the wedding of Alma Garret and Ellsworth in the second season finale?

[Jeff]

Does anyone know what the music is that plays at the DVD title screen for season 2?

[Rvnsng]

The song played and sung at Wild Bill's funeral, and hummed by Jane in the woods is the old hymn, "How Firm the Foundation." My 83 year old great-grandfather sang this hymn on his deathbed in 1938, just before he passed on.

[Limey CS]

Season 3/4 sounds just like Jimmie Rogers to me and these don't appear to be the lyrics of Mean Mama Blues.

[aaron]

Does anyone know what the music is that plays at the DVD title screen for season 2?

[dave]

wondering where I get these three episodes of ending songs on cd or downloads

000 for his project

[Mike]
