eastbound & down: the soundtrack.



i went ahead and put together a compilation soundtrack for eastbound & down because it's so fucking kick ass. obviously the more obscure instrumentals are still unknown since there is no official track listing anywhere (yet), although you can bet wayne kramer is responsible for them. if you know any of the missing songs, comment it up fool.

  1. early man - death is the answer. (ep 1- opening sequence)
  2. freddie king - going down. (title music for each episode)
  3. mc5 - miss x. (ep 1- kenny first see's april tits from the parking lot)
  4. r.l. burnside - let my baby ride. (ep 1- intro to first pe class)
  5. lucinda williams - i changed the locks. (ep 1-kenny meets tracy in the shboom shbooms)
  6. april wine - you could have been a lady. (ep 1- kenny doing blow in the back of the bar with clegg)
  7. the black keys - your touch. (ep 1-after kenny tells dustine he's selling the jetski. ep 4-bbq scene)
  8. ram jam - black betty. (ep 1-plays during the end.)
  9. boston - more than a feeling. (ep 2-first visit to ashley schaffer bmw)
  10. junior senior - can i get get get. (ep 2-kenny & clegg go to the school dance)
  11. trentemøller - vamp. (ep 2-as kenny & clegg walk into the school dance)
  12. dj daddy ray z - a fifth of beethoven (rock da beat mix). (ep 2-as kenny dances for april)
  13. tindersticks - the organist entertains. (ep 1-during orientation. ep 2-stevie picks up kenny after the dance. ep 5-kenny narrates his new audiobook)
  14. drug rug - for the rest of your life. (ep 3-kenny works out in the garage)
  15. lil wyte - fucked up. (ep 4-kenny taking steroids and working out)
  16. spank rock - bump. (ep 4-shrek at the dance studio)
  17. devendra banhart - i feel just like a child. (ep 4-kenny & april upstairs at the bbq)
  18. gregorian - the sound of silence. (ep 4-kenny on the jetski after the bbq)
  19. lee hazlewood - pour man. (ep 5-after kenny fires stevie)
  20. kenny rogers - love will turn you around. (ep 5-after the mackworthy showdown, ep 6-intro)
  21. the animals - sky pilot. (ep 6-kenny's final assignment for stevie)
  22. shawn lee's ping pong orchestra - kiss the sky. (ep 6-closing song)

the password is fucking. the quality is all V0 except for track #10 (V2), #19 (hard as shit to find), & #12 (had to buy that shit off itunes).

You're the fucking man for putting this up

cammelleri said...

Much appreciated post. I'm still looking for my two favorite instrumentals from the show that were played at the end of episodes 3 and 4. I'm pretty sure they were Wayne Kramer works, I just have no idea what they're called or where I can find them. Keep looking everybody.

What about "Whoa Black Betty, Bamalam" from the end of the first episode when Kenny was on the Jetski with the chick that dresses like a dickhead?
You're the fuckin man Kenny Fuckin Powers!

Thanks for this, been wanting to get my hands on some of the music from that show.

Ian motherfucker Breen said...

There's also Pivot - "October" in episode 2 (I think) when he's been down to Ashley Schaffer's, Clegg's hanging out with those bums and Kenny's upset. It's only short and quite ambient sounding, it's nice!

The rest of this soundtrack is fucking amazing.

shane heron said...

you have done the world a great service. thank you.

Eric said...

dude - you're missing the final track for episode 1 that plays right after black betty during the credits. you're fucking out, get your shit straight, and no fucking bunts.

mumbles said...

Shit, they took it down. Really wanted this. Any chance of another upload?

Michael said...

You seriously rock, man. Ever since I heard the promos for this show, I've been trying to get my hands on a decent copy of Pour Man, and now I have it. Thanks!

Joanan said...

I'm french. I love you for making ma fest brighter. You're definitively not fucking out !

Baldowl said...

I've been watching Season One episodes with commentary, and it seems many of the unknown instrumental tracks are performed by a Chapel Hill band called Dynamite Brothers--probably friends of McBride, Best, and crew.

You've done the world a tremendous service here. This soundtrack is bad-ass.

kevin said...

hei, am not able to download from any of the links provided. it says file removed. can you upload again and update the link!
thanks a lot! kick ass stuff!

Mitchell said...

The song playing during the closing credits of episode 1 is "In Time" by my band the Dynamite Brothers. You can check us out at http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/DynamiteBrothers. We are also on Facebook, Myspace, Virb, etc. Our song "Neighborhood Pharmacist" also plays during the party scene in episode three and we have some instrumental music in this show as well.

This kicks dicks, thank you!
I dig the rest of your blog as well, and if you wanna trade links w/ a hardcore/death metal weirdo (me), I'd be up for it...
