49 Winchester is one of the many independent bands that has benefited greatly from having songs appear in the series Yellowstone over its five seasons. They will be one of the lucky few who will have a song in the season finale.
Love or loathe ‘Yellowstone,’ it has been incredibly critical to the support and popularity we’ve seen flowing to independent country music. That’s why the launching of a new show called ‘Landman’ is important.
After a two-year hiatus, Season 5, Part Two has finally returned for five episodes, and you can expect a lot of important song placements in the Taylor Sheridan-directed show. You also can rule out physical appearances.
