Howard Shore - The Departed (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2006)

The soundtrack for Martin Scorsese's "The Departed" continues the director's tradition of utilizing classic rock and pop hits to heighten cinematic drama. The compilation is anchored by guitar-driven tracks from legends such as The Rolling Stones and The Allman Brothers Band, supplemented by rare live recordings and R&B classics. Special emphasis is placed on Howard Shore’s instrumental contributions featuring virtuoso guitarists, while contemporary energy is provided by Boston’s own punk rockers, Dropkick Murphys. The musical accompaniment functions as a standalone project that masterfully captures the atmosphere of criminal Boston.
