The Daisy Jones & the Six Soundtrack Is Packed With Vintage Gems and More Original Songs

The original tracks from Daisy Jones and The Six’s album Aurora aren’t the only songs that appear in the new Prime Video series about the band. Embedded in the sepia-toned and whiskey-soaked scenes, there lie tracks by very real artists who graced stages and airwaves in the ’70s—and some even earlier—from The Byrds to Carole King. That can be credited to music supervisor Frankie Pine (Magic Mike, Nashville), who helped nail down the vintage feel of the series with some well-curated ditties.

There are also other original songs written for the show and performed by the actors in their roles that don’t appear on Aurora; so for anyone hoping for early Dunne Brothers deep cuts, you’re in luck. Those tracks are also the brainchild of Daisy Jones’ chief songwriter and producer Blake Mills, who has worked with artists including Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes, Phoebe Bridgers, The Rolling Stones, and many more. Plus, there are even a few covers sprinkled throughout the series, with the Dunnes and Simone Jackson putting their own spin on tunes from the era.

As for the main title theme song? That’s “Dancing Barefoot” by Patti Smith.

If, during your binge, you find yourself thinking, “Who’s that song by again?”—check out the list below. We’ll keep it updated as new episodes of Daisy Jones & The Six come in each week.
