Music is the bringer of soul and character as it encapsulates the essence of the plot, giving the Yellowstone series more depth and personality.
The Yellowstone series theme song, titled “Yellowstone,” was composed and directed by world-famous actor/songwriter Bryan Tyler. He also contributed other dramatic and epic soundtracks to the series aside from the theme.
The main theme song of Yellowstone utilizes only instruments with no lyrics, and unlike the typical build-up of an epic instrumental piece, it is mellow, and the succession of beats is constant, giving the Yellowstone series a much more mysterious and exhilarating feel to it.
Many episodes also feature songs written and sung by Yellowstone actors such as Ryan Bingham, Tim McGraw, and Kevin Costner. An impressive 14 songs by Ryan Bingham have been in the series so far.
