I've just finished watching a series on Netflix called Fire Country which revolves around the stories and lives of CAL Fire (California Fire) firefighters and their families. Interestingly, it's based on reality as CAL Fire actually has a sponsor program where convicted and incarcerated felons fight fires and other such emergencies side by side with the CAL Fire employees which assists them to assimilate back into society in meaningful ways. It gets them out of prison and actively working towards the good of the community...of course, there's criteria one would have to meet to get such an opportunity.
The show is created by one of the stars, (Max Thieriot), who grew up in real life 'fire country' as a lad and is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It's pretty good and worth a watch I'd say.
What really grabbed my attention was the cool soundtrack which is a mixture of mainstream tracks by well known and not so well known artists; there's also three made specifically for the show by Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert that are not available on streaming services or albums sadly, but are great tracks. There's a lot of great music across the episodes and I thought I'd share some of in a post because I can.
Into the sun - (The White Buffalo) 🔸 Back in the saddle - (Ashley Cooke) 🔸 Ride the lightning - (Warren Zieders) 🔸 Different man - (Kane Brown & Blake Shelton 🔸 Never say never - (Cole Swindell & Lainey Wilson)
You're probably going to just hear tracks, simple music, and that's cool, that's all they are really. You may like them or not and that's ok too because everyone is entitled to their own thoughts, likes and dislikes. What makes them so cool for me though, and all the music throughout the episodes of Fire Country, is that they really put some thought into what music they used based on what was happening in the show, the tone or mood of the scene and they nailed it. Some of the tracks in the show are not one's I may usually like but they worked well and complimented the scenes. Isn't music cool?
I'm not sure you'll ever get to see this show, or even want to, and it doesn't matter to me either way I suppose, but I wonder if you've ever found music that you really like from a series or movie you've seen and simply had to add it to your play lists? Feel free to tell me below, name or link the track and what you liked about it so much.
