The Yellowstone soundtrack is undeniably a curation of impressive country music – specifically featuring outlaw – borrowing from the catalogues of Ryan Bingham (who also stars in the show as Walker), Whiskey Myers, Blackberry Smoke, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, and many more talented musicians. From the pilot episode Daybreak to its intense season 3 finale, The World Is Purple, the show has carefully picked and threaded its music to perfectly match each moment. And as they say, music is what ties everything together, and Yellowstone definitely nailed it.
Now, as we wait for the release of the vengeful fourth season, let’s check out every song that made Yellowstone one of the most-watched neo-western dramas of our time.
