About this listen
Turns out when your bounty hunter comes back from the dead, he brings a six-string and a record deal. Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Nettles join Kyle Meredith to talk about The Bondsman, their new horror-but-make-it-heartfelt Prime Video series with a twangy demonic twist. They break down how the show’s rootsy, Appalachian world inspired them to co-write a full album (Hell and Back) in character—a rarity in a TV landscape filled with music supervisors but not many actual songwriters. They get into why Nettles turned down every “musician role” for a decade until now, why Bacon insisted they reject any songs that didn’t meet the bar, and how they ended up cutting multiple tracks anyway for a record that lives on its own outside the show. Plus: songwriting via voice notes, why more actors don’t do this, and how their duet “Hell and Back” came together like a Johnny & June fever dream in a haunted holler.
