Music from 'Mackintosh & T.J.' is a soundtrack album to the film of the same name, featuring four songs performed by Waylon Jennings, another by Willie Nelson, and several featuring Jennings' backing band The Waylors. The record was released on RCA Victor in March 1976, following the film which had come out in November 1975. Three of the Jennings songs had been previously unreleased; four of the tracks on the album are instrumentals. The album peaked at #16 on the country charts.

AllMusic said of the soundtrack, "Actually, only four tracks are by Jennings (and one of those is a repeat) and probably of little interest to anyone but a collector." The repeat was a reference to "All Around Cowboy", which appears twice on the album. A live version of "Bob Wills Is Still the King" had appeared on his 1975 album Dreaming My Dreams; the Mackintosh & T.J. version, however, is a studio recording . A different recording of "Ride Me Down Easy" appeared on Honky Tonk Heroes (1973). Willie Nelson's track, "(Stay All Night) Stay a Little Longer", previously appeared on Willie's 1973 Atlantic album, Shotgun Willie.
