Today's #soundtracksunday is going to focus on the FX television show Mayans MC. With the Season 1 finale just ending earlier this month, I was able to catch up on all of the episodes and must say that while somewhat disappointed in the series around the third or fourth episode, the writers stepped up and made this show somewhat enjoyable. Granted, I am still a huge Sons of Anarchy fan, I was excited to see this spin-off and hope to see some cameos from the remaining members of SAMCRO. What I didn't expect from FX, was the more than occasional use of the F word that aired, but kudos to them for having the guts to air that and some of the other language that was used.
We are going to start things off with the opening credits, which obviously is only a portion of the song. You can hear the full song by searching YouTube, but warning, some of the curse (swear) words are changed from the opening credits.
1.Nunca performed by David Hidalgo, Los Refugios Tiernos. If the voice sounds familiar, I believe this is the same David Hidalgo who sang for Los Lobos.
2.Daddy Rollin' Stone performed by The Blasters. The Blasters are a California-based band that formed in 1978 and have an eclectic sound of rock, punk, and rockabilly.
3.Uncontrollable Urge performed by Devo. Yes, you read that right! DEVO! Better known for their hit Whip It, I was actually surprised to hear this song furing a fight scene in one of the earlier episodes, but it was fitting for the scene.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's #makeovermonday because it just may be cover songs that were featured from this television show as well! I hope you enjoyed today's #sundaysoundtrack.
Sincerely,
Ilsa Ione
