For True Grit—Joel and Ethan Coen's 2010 film adaptation of the 1968 Charles Portis novel, starring Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin, and Matt Damon—composer Carter Burwell looked to 19th-century hymns as the backbone to his score. The Los Angeles Times says it works "equally well for big-screen vistas and solitary contemplation." Iris DeMent's performance of the hymn "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," featured on the film's closing credits, is included as a digital bonus track.
