"Regarding music... with 'western' you mean like country music? fiddles, pedalsteel, banjo, guitars, harmonicas etc., with all the cliches there are?"
Yes, I mean country music, with country instruments, but I can't really give you specifics because I don't really know what it is that would be right for the game, nor do I know a lot about country music or what instruments would sound good rather than annoying. I think all those industuments you listed are the right sort though. I'm not sure what pedalsteel is though.
And cliches? Cliches are good.
Though I did hear one song which tried to make a fake version of the famous whisling and harmonica theme you hear in a showdown (Doo dee doo dee doot! WHAA WHAAA WHAAAAAAA) and it was annoying because you knew what it was supposed to sound like and the messed up notes just made it sound like a cheap cheezy imitation.
Speaking of which though... I think for the scene where the characters face off I want something with a guatar... I think it's more of a spanish sound? The guitar goes like "Dugga dugga dun!" and then has some kind of complex thing after that where it goes up the scale and then back down I think a few times. I think something like that would work nicely.
