Drugstore Cowboy is the soundtrack to the 1989 film Drugstore Cowboy. It features six songs and fifteen excerpts from the film score by Elliot Goldenthal. It is one of his earliest works; in it he does not use an orchestra but a whole range of different instruments treated in a synthesizer.^[2] The score and soundtrack were also the first that Goldenthal worked on with Richard Martinez, a music producer whose "computer expertise and sound production assistance" became the basis for frequent subsequent collaborations.^[3]
