Rome is an album written by the American music producer Danger Mouse and the Italian composer Daniele Luppi.[12] The album took five years to make and was inspired by the music from Spaghetti Westerns.[13]

The album was recorded using vintage equipment and, as well as featuring musicians who recorded Spaghetti Western soundtracks, also features a reunited Cantori Moderni - the choir put together by Alessandro Alessandroni - that performed on the soundtrack to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.[13] The album also includes vocals by the American singers Jack White on the tracks "The Rose with the Broken Neck", "Two Against One" and "The World", and Norah Jones on the tracks "Season's Trees", "Black" and "Problem Queen".[12] White additionally chose to provide lyrics for his three songs.
