"A Most Wanted Man: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" (26 tracks; 48 min.) brings the orchestral score of the movie, composed by well-known German musician Herbert Grönemeyer. "Opening Theme" sets the tone for the entire movie: a gentle accordion is interrupted by menacing-sounding violins, with a sense of dread for what is to come.

Whether singing his own songs or covering songs written by young alternative rockers in his autumn years, anything he touched became vintage Johnny Cash as soon as he stepped to the microphone.
