L.A. Noire - KTI Radio Soundtrack

Post by BettyLouSpence »

In L.A. Noire, a video game set in 1947, there's a radio station, KTI, that automatically plays when you get into a civilian car. I loved listening to it when driving around - all the 40s songs that would play! Bobby Sox Blues and Murder He Says were and still are my favorites.

Awesome post! I love it. Video games don't get enough credit for their soundtracks, I think.

Wow, that's a nice collection of music. I love “Murder He Says”! That one’s so catchy, and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. :D Dinah Shore had a lovely voice.

Some of my other favorites were “Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens,” “Eager Beaver,” and “Maybe I Should Change My Ways.” Maureen Sullivan’s voice is charming in “It Was a Lover and His Lass.”

I already had "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette) in my iTunes library—that’s a funny one.
