Music similar to Brokeback Mountain soundtrack?

[shazbotus]

Hi,

I really like the sounds of the guitar in some of the songs on the soundtrack for Brokeback Mountain. Does anybody know where I can find more from the same artist or more of the same genre? What genre would it be considered? Let me know if you don't know what it sounds like. I could try to find a clip. Thanks.

Haven't seen the movie. But here are two links that may get you started. The score was composed by Gustavo Santaolalla.

I was able to find that much out. I was wondering more what kind of genre to look at.

The problem with this question is that his music is not genre specific. He uses elements of numerous genres to create music. I'd start by researching the articles about him and then sample music from his influences.

What is it about his music that you like so much? If it's just the lonesome, twangy guitar you're looking for you might like some of Mark Knopfler's stuff (http://www.markknopfler.com/).
