Asix-part Westernstarring Liam Neeson, James Franco, Zoe Kazan, Tom Waits, Brendan Gleeson, and Tim Blake Nelson,The Ballad of Buster Scruggsunfolds as a darkly comedic anthology comprised of several vignettes about the American frontier.
Stories revolve around “sharp-shooting songsters and jilted gold diggers” to yarns about “gothic traveling performers and ghostly carriage rides,” per the official synopsis.
The soundtrack album Burwell’s latest in his robust filmography that includes more than 80 movies includes several songs performed by the film’s cast, particularly Gleeson’s “The Unfortunate Lad” and “When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings,” an original song written by Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings sung by Nelson and Willie Watson.
