Landman Soundtrack Brings Texas Country Legends Together, Featuring Dwight Yoakam, Flatland Cavalry, and More

Fans of country music and gripping television storytelling have a new reason to celebrate. The Landman soundtrack, officially titled Songs From and Inspired by the Paramount+ Original Series (Volume I), hit streaming platforms on September 26, 2025, offering a compelling mix of original songs and celebrated tracks from the series. Following in the footsteps of Yellowstone, Landman not only delivers an intense, story-driven experience on screen but also champions independent and iconic country artists through its music.

A Soundtrack That Goes Beyond the Show

While the series initially released a score composed by Andrew Lockington earlier this year, the official song compilation now brings together standout tracks performed by both established legends and rising stars. Music supervision, led by Andrea von Foerster (renowned for her work on Yellowstone), ensures that each song complements the series’ gritty Texas atmosphere while highlighting the musical talents of its contributors.

Notably, the soundtrack includes five original tracks co-written by series star Billy Bob Thornton and country legend Mark Collie, who also plays the sheriff on the show. This collaboration adds a unique, authentic flavor that sets the album apart from standard TV playlists.

Original Tracks and Standout Performances

The collaboration between Thornton and Collie resulted in several standout tracks. Highlights include:

• “Livin’ It Up Down In Texas” – Performed by Billy Gibbons, this track exudes raw energy with a rock-infused Texas vibe.
• “She’ll Dance For Whiskey” – Parker McCollum brings a contemporary country feel to this Thornton-Collie co-write.
• “That’s What Lonely People Do” – Dwight Yoakam delivers a masterful performance, blending classic country with fresh storytelling.
• “Blood For Black Gold” – Ronnie Dunn adds a rich, commanding voice to this evocative track.
• “Midland After Midnight” – Flatland Cavalry offers a powerful, heartfelt country song, further strengthening the album’s appeal.

These original compositions, created during filming, often saw Thornton and Collie jamming on set, capturing the spirit of the series and the Texas landscape.

A Curated Mix of Legendary and Rising Artists

Beyond the original tracks, the soundtrack features an impressive roster of artists including George Strait (with Chris Stapleton), Clint Black, Turnpike Troubadours, The Red Clay Strays, Belle Frantz, Brent Cobb, Whiskey Myers, Ella Langley, Reverend Horton Heat, Drayton Farley, and Cody Cannon. This mix of veterans and newer voices offers listeners a rich, textured experience that mirrors the diverse narrative threads of Landman.
