Kevin Bacon & Jennifer Nettles Talk Diving Deep on ‘Story Building’ for ‘The Bondsman’ & Accompanying Album

Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Nettles discussed making music for 'The Bondsman' from the point of view of their characters with Billboard.

Together, the two teamed up for The Bondsman: Hell And Back, a collection of eight songs written fromthe point of view of their characters, with several of the tracks appearing on the show. As a seasoned actor and musician, the challenge of writing the songs from the bounty hunter’s perspective, instead of his own, allowed him to create a deeper bond with his role. Nettles also revealed that the show’s “authentic” portrayal of the South drew her to the role, and her immediate bond with Bacon allowed the music to “flow easily.” And, of course, working with superstar actor in general was a plus.
