Weekly, millions sink into big couches in front of flat screens and travel to a West Texas boomtown filled with drama <\/a>and Southern charm. Landman, penned by Fort Worth-native-turned-Hollywood-mogul Taylor Sheridan, has garnered the approval of critics and Western revivalists alike. The show, shot primarily in North Texas and occasionally in downtown Dallas<\/a>, often feels like a love letter to the area and its people from the man who decided to bring show business back to his hometown.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sheridan doesn\u2019t just take viewers to Texas through drawls and wide-brims, but through the sounds and strums of artists who love the Lone Star State just as much as he does. The show\u2019s soundtrack is chock-full of North Texas artists, from Billboard chart toppers to the local gig economy. <\/p>\n The latest episode streamed on Peacock on Dec. 28, and while most people were talking about a scene<\/a> with 70-year-old star Billy Bob Thornton\u2019s pharmaceutical-assisted erection, Denton resident Isaac Hoskins was talking about how cool it is to have his music featured in Sheridan\u2019s work.\u00a0<\/p>\n His 2022 country song, \u201cPanhandle Wind,\u201d which played in this week\u2019s episode, isn\u2019t the local artist\u2019s only song to make it into one of the award-winning writer\u2019s series. His song \u201cH-Town Turnaround\u201d appeared in an episode of Yellowstone. \u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tDallas, make your New Year\u2019s Resolution Count!\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe\u2019re $10,000 away from reaching our $30,000 year-end fundraising goal. Your support could be what pushes us over the top. If our work has kept you informed, helped you understand a complex issue, or better connected you to your community, please consider making a contribution today.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \u201cNobody knows who I am, that\u2019s true,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I had a song featured in that show that I think is one of my better songs; it\u2019s at a little over 2 million streams. I would never have had those types of numbers without [the show].\u201d<\/p>\n Lightning struck when Sheridan once coincidentally walked into Magnolia Motor Lounge in Fort Worth, where Hoskins was playing in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt was pretty wild,\u201d Hoskins said. \u201cIt continues to make my life more interesting, to say the least. I\u2019ve gotten to meet a ton of really great folks, some really successful, down-to-earth people. And I\u2019ve learned a lot about the business and about myself, too. It\u2019s been a fantastic experience, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n Sheridan\u2019s love for Texas extends beyond promoting local artists. After years of cutting his teeth and riding off major success with his debut television series \u201cYellowstone\u201d, Sheridan traded tinsel for cows and opened a production studio<\/a>, SGS Studios, in Fort Worth. It is the largest film studio in the state, and a key puzzle piece in the state\u2019s ongoing initiative to rival California\u2019s film industry dominance.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s remarkable that somebody would find success and then bring all of that and have the juice, if you will, to pull all of that industry back to his home,\u201d said Hoskins. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t play games, but he also rewards people for being honest and on time and working hard, and all the things that go along with what most people would probably say are Texan values.\u201d<\/p>\n The Landman soundtrack is full of the kind of heartfelt songs that make you want to drive fast down a dirt road, and a lot of them are from our very own. Here\u2019s a definitive list for your next road trip playlist:<\/p>\n \u201cDebtor\u2019s Blues\u201d by Vincent Neal Emerson<\/p>\n Season one, episode one: \u201cLandman\u201d<\/p>\n Vincent Neal Emerson was born in Van Zandt County and cut his teeth busking in Fort Worth. The folk artist is currently touring the country, but has no dates scheduled for North Texas at this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cTake Me Home\u201d by Tanner Usrey <\/p>\n Season one, episode one: \u201cLandman\u201d<\/p>\n Tanner Usrey is another local best-kept-secret.
