Will the series feature a mix of classic western tunes and original compositions, or will it take a more modern approach to its soundtrack? Music fans and industry professionals will be watching to see how the show's creators balance the demands of storytelling with the opportunities presented by music, and whether the series will spawn any notable musical collaborations or releases.
