"Catch .44" soundtrack


This is a really short and quick entry. I have friends in the band Deadbolt, and one of their songs is played in the 2011 Forest Whitaker/Bruce Willis movie "Catch .44." The film was a box office bomb, although it’s a fairly entertaining crime flick.

No soundtrack album was released for the movie, but the featured songs are a real grabbag of genres and times. From the spaghetti western “Ride ‘Em,” glam rock from David Bowie and Sweet, rap en español by Vakero, plus country, alt-rock, psychobilly, gospel, etc. Even a track by Willis. Think of it as a crazy mix tape.

1. Ride ‘Em – Ben Zarai

2. Fox on the Run – Sweet

3. Choose Me – The Debonettes

4. Queen Bitch – David Bowie

5. Between Midnight and Day – Corey Harris

6. I’ll be All Smiles Tonight – Mac Wiseman

7. Dead Sound – The Raveonettes

8. Respect Yourself – Bruce Willis

9. Sweet Rock and Roll – Vibrolux

10. Se Partio de Lapiz – Vakero

11. Zulu Death Mask – Deadbolt

12. Silver Piano Man – Cotton Jones

13. Believer – Viva Voce

14. Fair and Tender Ladies – The Osborne Brothers

15. Running Bear – Johnny Preston

16. U R A Fever – The Kills

17. Hot Ashes – Jordan Klassen

18. Living, Forgiving – Paul Burch

I’m not going to go through all the sources, but suffice it to say you probably won’t find two songs on any one album. Let Amazon, iTunes, etc. be your friend. 

For a cover, I simply took the movie poster and cropped and edited it.
