Albums Perry recorded with The Upsetters such as Clint Eastwood, Eastwood Rides Again, The Good, The Bad & The Upsetters and song titles such as "For A Few Dollars More" and "Return of Django", all suggest western movie themes.
Most of the songs were instrumentals, and the band was therefore free to name the songs and they chose to base their material on strong, cowboy heroes.
Sonically too, these works hint at sounds straight from the Old West: cowbells mimicking horse hooves, organs imitating the "Western" music, gun shots and yelping.
The covers of these albums portray people with cowboy clothes, brandishing guns, and featuring settings of desert-like area.
