‘Landman’ Releases Season 1 Soundtrack, Renews for 2nd Season

Billy Bob Thornton was incredible in the first season of Taylor Sheridan’s new drama Landman, and so was the dialogue Sheridan wrote for Thornton’s character. In fact, Thornton was so good, it landed him a Golden Globe nomination for the Paramount+ streaming series. The women in Landman? Well, they left something to be desired as they were cast in cliché roles with shallow characters.
But beyond Thornton’s role, Landman Season 1 was an excellent forum for showcasing independent country and roots artists, picking up where Sheridan’s series Yellowstone left off. Vincent Neil Emerson, the Turnpike Troubadours, 49 Winchester, Brent Cobb, Ward Davis, Kaitlin Butts, The Red Clay Strays, Ian Noe, Tanner Usrey, Drayton Farley, Charley Crockett, and more were all featured in the Season 1 sync catalog.

Along with the stellar country music showcased in the series selected by Music Supervisor Andrea von Foerster (also of Yellowstone), the series also featured an incredible original score composed by Andrew Lockington. In fact, one pivotal scene in Episode 9 where Thornton encounters a wolf (or more likely a coyote) had the internet ablaze trying to find the name of the song and the artist. The name was actually “Wolf Song,” and it was composed by Andrew Lockington specifically for the series.
There were multiple other moments throughout the series where songs from the score stirred interest and helped make the scene. Now UMG Nashville has released a 23-song soundtrack of all of these Andrew Lockington compositions for those who want to relive them, or explore these songs in longer form.
“The music of Landman aims to be honest, raw, exposed, and above all else…human,” says Lockington. “For music to serve as a carrier wave for emotion, we need to recognize that there’s emotion in the melody, the notes, the breaths, the squeaks of the fingers on the fretboard of the guitar and even the poignant pauses in the humming. Those nuances are what we tried to capture and preserve to best represent the world of Landman.”
The release of the soundtrack also means these songs will be cataloged in the digital marketplace, so if you watch the series and want to hear more of a song in the score, you should now be able to use the Shazam app and find it.
The release of the Season 1 soundtrack comes as it was also announced that the series has been renewed for Season 2. The premier episode had 35 million viewers alone, and it was one of the most-viewed subscription video on demand (SVOD) series of the 4th quarter of 2024.
“‘Landman’ was one of the biggest shows of the year because of Taylor Sheridan’s unique ability to tap into the cultural zeitgeist, harnessing the Neo-Western themes of rugged individualism, ambition, and working-class struggles set against contemporary debates around energy, climate change, and economic growth,” says Chris McCarthy, CEO of Paramount Global.
You’ll have to wait a bit for Season 2 though. Filming isn’t set to start until the end of March.

It’s being reported Jon Hamm won’t be returning for season 2 (he was a handful), so maybe there’s a chance for Demi Moore’s character, Cami Miller, to better represent women. And Sam Elliot will join the cast of Landman in season 2 (insert “I won’t be watching it now” comments below).
Also, The Righteous Gemstones return for its final season last Sunday. The episode, “Prelude,” took place during the Civil War, so none of the main cast was in it and none of laughs, but lots of country music including a montage using Waylon Jennings, “Goin’ Down Rockin’.” Watch carefully and you will see members of the band Town Mountain in a string band performing in the civil war camp. It’s not Sturgill Simpsons covering the Gatlin Brothers from the pulpit, but still pretty cool representation.

Love Sam Elliot.
“Beef – It’s What’s for Dinner.”
That’s not all that’s for dinner, sweetheart.

My favorite Sam Elliott line was in When We Were Soldiers; Lt. Colonel Hal Moore (Mel Gibson): “I think you oughta get yourself an M-16.”Sergeant Major Basil Plumley (Sam Elliott) replies: “Sir, if the time comes I need one, there’ll be plenty lying on the ground.”

: D Oh, i love that line … Good one!
*Can hit a target with an M-16, at 400 yards in the driving rain, while standing on two orange crates in a foxhole.
Also, look like a drowned rat afterwards – but, oh well.
Have you ever, out of the blue, gently fired off a random movie quote at a dinner party, or big BBQ?
All of a sudden, it is pandemonium.
Everyone firing off quotes from, When We Were Soldiers, to Young Frankenstein, to Bugs Bunny.
Great fun.

: D i love that line. Good one!

Sam has had some great lines in movies over the years, but for me, it’s hard to beat “That girl has WAY too many brains to have an ass like that”. (Road House).

His character dying in season 1 finale pretty well confirmed that. This show doesn’t lend itself to flashbacks like other Sheridan shows.

I have to go back and watch the finale. Did Monty definitively die? I recall it being open ended. I know it wasn’t looking good for him, but both John Dutton in Yellowstone and Jacob Dutton in 1923 miraculously survived being machine gunned down in their series.

The monitor behind his wife and crying children flat lined. If they’re gonna say that they saved him after that, I think the show loses a lot of authenticity.

“It’s being reported Jon Hamm won’t be returning for season 2 (he was a handful)”
Sheridan will write himself in as the replacement “savior ultra badass macho man” Hamm wishes he was.

Dammit, that was meant to be a reply to Hoptown’s comment

I thought the lady attorney did a fantastic job in her role.

In modern fiction according to a certain set, you can’t have depictions of women, even if they’re caricatures of people whom everyone reading this site has encountered in their real lives, that are anything other than exceptional. Because somehow that will make the icky people go away or something I guess is the theory…

No Boxmasters? That would had been a nice hidden egg…

Billy Bob’s wife and daughter’s roles on the show nearly killed it for me. It was like
half a good show. Huge fan of BB’s acting and will hope for some adjustments in S2.

Billy Bob Thornton‘s was great in land man played it perfectly. He needs an Oscar for it but his wife and daughter they were like brainless imbeciles.
