Ratings for the gritty, modern-day western Yellowstone have gone up faster than your heart rate during a shootout. Along with the backstabbing and tyranny that happen a lot in Paramount Network’s smash-hit, there’s a star-studded score that fits a cast that shines just as much. It has albums of haunting country music by artists like Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves, and the actor who plays Walker, Ryan Bingham.
Now that season five has started, let’s put on some songs that set the mood for drama and dysfunction. Here, you can listen to the official Yellowstone Spotify playlist to go from doing dishes to roping cattle like Lloyd Pierce.
