Landman Season 2 Episode 1 soundtrack guide: A complete list of the music in the Taylor Sheridan drama's latest chapter

Here it is! Landman Season 2 is now available on Paramount+, and the show's music is already receiving a great deal of attention from the audience. The series is still delivering powerful narratives along with a selected score, its music being a significant part of the show, just like in the case of Sheridan's previous work, Yellowstone.

Music is an inseparable part of Landman Season 2, thereby increasing the emotional impact in the whole series and at the same time raising the narrative tension. The soundtrack weaves a mix of original score with independent country and Americana artists' tracks.

There has been much speculation from fans over track placements scene by scene, but concrete, publicly verified information is rare, and the following will discuss only what is confirmed.

The musical approach of Landman Season 2

Landman Season 2 boasts a distinctive musical style, featuring both original score elements and licensed tracks. Taylor Sheridan's series usually makes a point of touting independent artists as a means of giving them some visibility to wider audiences, and that trend continued in season 2, shedding light on performers who mostly had fallen beneath the radar of mainstream country.

The official soundtrack develops these independent voices by creating atmosphere and authenticity without promoting unverified tracks or assigning specific songs to precise scenes.

Original score by Andrew Lockington

According to Savingcountrymusic, Andrew Lockington has been confirmed to compose the original score for Landman Season 2. The music helps to set the tone of the series, providing tension and emotion with cinematic depth.

Officially confirmed score tracks include:

Landman Main Title
Faster Ways to Die
Wolf Song
Desire

The following tracks represent the backbone of the series' original soundtrack. Some of the instrumental cues don't have a public individual title and are referred to only as part of Lockington's score. The original score has been issued digitally, and its contents are shown in the Season 2 running tab by Saving Country Music.

Licensed songs and featured artists

As per Saving Country Music, apart from the score, Landman Season 2 features licensed songs by confirmed independent country and Americana artists - each of whom has appeared across Season 2 and contributes to the series’ signature sound:

Episode 1: What is confirmed

While viewers may want a scene-by-scene breakdown for episode 1, the sources confirm only the overall presence of Andrew Lockington's score and the licensed tracks from the artists above. No authoritative source assigns specific songs to particular scenes in episode 1.

Indeed, as confirmed by the information herein, the soundtrack continues a combination of cinematic scoring and curated independent music for storytelling.

How music shapes the series

Without a complete, episode-specific tracklist, it's clear that music plays a core role throughout Landman Season 2. Lockington's compositions provide emotional cues and pacing, while licensed tracks add authenticity and regional flavor.

It is the signature of Sheridan's approach, emphasizing independent country artists, which gives exposure to rising musicians and helps make the soundtrack resonate among the audience on both an emotional and cultural level.

Similar to season 1, music once again plays a major role in the mood-setting process, narrative delivery, and creating drama in the series, along with showcasing independent country artists in the second season of Landman. Though the precise song utilizations in episode 1 cannot be verified, the elements that have been verified, Andrew Lockington's soft cinematic score and licensed contributions from the likes of Turnpike Troubadours, Charley Crockett, and Parker McCollum, indicate a careful curation process behind the soundtrack.

Through the combined use of the original score and curated songs, Landman season 2 not only enhances the narrative but also reveals to the expectant audience a group of artists who, otherwise, would not get the spotlight. There may not be an episode-by-episode breakdown, but one thing's for certain: the soundtrack elevates every scene, immerses the audience in the world Taylor Sheridan has created, and keeps independent country music front and center.
