Fallout is a post-apocalyptic series that has plenty of cool 40's and 50's style artwork, as if the bomb dropped in that era. The soundtrack has plenty of old country and western like "Heartaches By The Number" and "Big Iron". I noticed the steel playing on THIS song and did a little research. It's actually a modern recording by the Lost Weekend Swing Band. The steel is played by Bobby Black. Pretty cool.
It's interesting to think of all the teenagers being exposed to this sort of thing. |

And if they are like the teens I know that play those games, they probably won't even notice the music unless it's head banger rock.

The music from Fallout New Vegas was the first thing that got me interested in the game. heard it playing while my little brother (he's 25, but still little to me) was playing it at a family get together (he's not the social type) and it peaked my fancy. Quite a fun game, and the music makes it so much more enjoyable.
