The soundtrack to season 2 of the award-winning HBO limited series Big Little Lies includes music by Willie Nelson, Charles Bradley and the Spinners and is highlighted by previously unreleased exclusive tracks by Leon Bridges and Jim James.
Big Little Lies (Music From Season 2 of the HBO Limited Series) leans heavily on soul music past and present. Included are the Spinners’ Top 5 hit from 1972 “I’ll Be Around,” “Until You Came Into My Life” by Ann Peebles (1974) and “Great Big Bundle of Love” – a lesser known 1970 single by Los Angeles soul institution Brenton Wood. Recorded in 1979, Donnie and Joe Emerson’s “Baby” from their self-released album Dreamin’ Wild, existed in total obscurity before the reissue label Light In The Attic gave it new life earlier this decade. Similarly, soul crooner Charles Bradley was discovered late in life; the timeless sound of 2013’s “Let Love Stand a Chance” featuring Menahan Street Band would fit well in soul music’s golden era.
