8. "Rome" - Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi





Have you ever sat down to watch an old classic 60’s western movie and been inspired by the music to say, “you know, someone should make an entire album of music like this, only with a modern twist”?  Well, neither have I, but that’s exactly what Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi have done with Rome.  And what a great idea it turned out to be.  For vocals they’ve enlisted the help of Jack White and Nora Jones, giving them each a different avenue in which to let their talents shine.  There may be just a couple too many instrumentals that sound maybe just a bit too much like the rest, but it is all of consistent quality. When you're in the right mood, this is an incredible listen.
