All The Songs & Artists Featured on Season 3 of ‘Yellowstone’

The season finale for the Paramount Network’s signature summer series Yellowstone ended in a cliffhanger Sunday night (8-23), and it also ended another successful run for the series in both the ratings department, and in featuring all manner of cool country and roots artists and songs throughout the season.

During Season 3 of the Kevin Costner-led series, music from Colter Wall, Cody Jinks, Tyler Childers, Elle King, Charley Crockett, Sturgill Simpson, Red Shahan, and so many more made it into key moments, often sparking interest in the songs and artists themselves. This was certainly the case when the song “Condemned” by viral star Zach Bryan played during the ending scene of Episode 2. Ryan Bingham also made a re-appearance in Season 3, not just in the soundtrack, but as one of the recurring characters.

The benefit of an appearance on Yellowstone for a band is not just hypothetical. When Whiskey Myers not only had some songs featured during Season 1, but also made a personal appearance during a scene itself, it shot up their sales, and is given credit for one of the reasons why the band is on the rise, including recently hitting #1 on the charts with their latest self-titled album. In lieu of mainstream radio play, shows like Yellowstone can really help spread the word about independent artists.

Yellowstone centers around the famous American National Park and the conflicts that arise between the shared borders of a large cattle ranch, an Indian reservation, land developers, and the park itself. It was created by Taylor Sheridan who is originally from Texas, and made a name developing Sons of Anarchy, as well as the movie Hell or High Water, both of which featured lots of independent and classic country music as well. Sheridan is often given credit for revitalizing the modern Western. Yellowstone‘s music supervisor is Andrea von Foerster.
