There are three Bo Diddley songs and two Howlin’ Wolf songs, with John Lee Hooker and Elmore James rounding it out, and that aforementioned 7Horse song basically being used as if it's one of them, too. In fact, perhaps the defining characteristic of The Wolf of Wall Street‘s soundtrack is its focus on blues music. That is not an uncommon quality to the music here.
It’s a stylistic choice that the film benefits from, as it derives from the need to strike the right tone, rather than the historical accuracy of radio hits." Analysis Īnalysing the film's music, Ryan Leas of Consequence wrote "most of these songs are old and were already old in the era The Wolf of Wall Street depicts. It is interesting that, unlike his other period films, in The Wolf of Wall Street, Scorsese draws on more songs that predate the historical setting of the film. It’s a tall order, but one Scorsese has proven time and time again that he is quite capable of dishing out. Gregory Heaney of AllMusic mentioned that the soundtrack "evokes the off-the-rails feeling of the film with its eclectic mish-mash of genres" and called it as "solid disc that offers many of the film's thrills without all fraud and greed." Paul Taylor of Lemonwire wrote "Martin Scorsese delivers a film with a soundtrack that hits all the right notes without the use of a traditional score. This is one of the reasons the Wolf of Wall Street succeeded so much." RJ Frometa of Vents Magazine praised the soundtrack's "ecletic style" and its coincidence with the pace of Belfort's life, writing "Scorsese and his team of music producers chose the soundtrack wisely, allowing to better demonstrate the allure of money and power, the feeling of being on the crest of the wave.

Maybe they heard it on satellite radio." Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings performed the cover version of the 1964 Shirley Bassey single " Goldfinger" that was used in the film's soundtrack. Randall Poster and Robbie Robertson also worked on the music. I dug into it a bit and found out that Scorsese finds a lot of his own music for his movies. The bandleader Phil Leavitt said that he received an email from the music clearance for the film, in last July, and added "It came out of the blue, and I still to this day don’t know how Martin Scorsese or his people heard it, or who found it. The independent band 7horse's original song "Meth Lab Zoso Sticker" from their 2011 album Let The 7Horse Run, was used by Scorsese in the film. Scorsese supervised the film's editing with norm collaborator and editor Thelma Schoonmaker for a year, cutting the image and music seamlessly, Robertson said that "For Marty, the music and the picture–it’s the same thing It’s about cinematic power and finding something that goes beautifully counter point, and avoiding the obvious so the music works against the idea."

Robertson sent Scorsese, few recordings of mid-century blues singles, that included Elmore James' " Dust My Broom" (1951) and Howlin' Wolf's " Smokestack Lightning" (1956), as "nobody but Marty and me would have chosen Smokestack Lightning for a movie that takes place in the ’80s and ’90s because it’s got nothing to do with anything except raw amazement This is music that gets under your skin immediately," which attributes that blues-powered numbers attribute to the character development in tune to the epic debauchery that progresses in the film, despite time correctness. He said that "I think that the people that made the trailer, they were making it before we had a movie You try to find something that is impactful for the trailer, and I think felt very 'now.' I think that in spite of the movie's period setting, some of the substance of it is contemporary." The 2013 single " Black Skinhead" performed by Kanye West was used in the film's trailer for promotions, but was not included anywhere in the film as Poster went for a more "blues, early rock-and-roll motif" for the film. The film does not feature an original music, but underscored by Canadian musician Robbie Robertson, who also helped Poster on selecting the songs. The film featured 60 tracks handpicked by Scorsese's regular collaborator and music supervisor Randall Poster, however only 16 of them made into the official soundtrack. The music received critical acclaim and received a nomination for Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, though lost to the soundtrack of Frozen (2013). The album features a roster of mid-century blues tracks from popular artists during the 1950s and 1960s.
