Landman’s Billy Bob Thornton Co-Writes Tragically Beautiful New Duet From Carter Faith & William Beckmann
I need more from this duo.
Landman is taking the world by storm with its action-packed plotlines, but just like many other Taylor Sheridan shows, the plot is just part of what makes the show successful. The music is a significant factor in his shows’ success, often highlighting emerging and established country artists. From featuring Zach Bryan to helping Whiskey Myers become a household name, Yellowstone made a show pillar, highlighting the western community beyond ranching through music, and now Landman is following that motto.
Sheridan has crafted a star-studded list of artists featured in each season, ranging from the Turnpike Troubadours and the Red Clay Strays to Tanner Usrey and Lance Roark. But this season, the leading man on screen, Billy Bob Thornton, stepped in to help with the music for Season 2.
Billy Bob Thornton played a role in the Landman soundtrack, Landman – Songs From and Inspired by the Paramount+ Original Series (Volume I). He and Mark Collie, who plays Sheriff Walt Joeberg in the hit series, are credited with helping out on 5 of the 15 songs that are featured on the soundtrack.
Thornton had previously said that he had put together songs that were inspired by the show itself, and that he wasn’t sure if they’d ever find a home:
“We wrote a couple of songs (that) were kind of inspired by the area, that business world. We’ll see if they end up on anything. And maybe they will, maybe they won’t, but they’re at least there.”
But it did not stop there. Billy Bob Thornton teamed up with more songwriters for Landman – Songs From and Inspired by the Paramount+ Original Series (Volume II), further showcasing his songwriting talent. One of the songs he had a hand in penning from Volume II, “Lay Your Heartache Onto Mine,” was released this week, written alongside Jessie Jo Dillon and Carter Faith and was produced by the legendary Dave Cobb.
This is not Carter Faith and Billy Bob Thornton’s first time working together, as he starred in her “Bar Star” music video and was the inspiration behind Faith’s single titled after the legendary actor. I have a feeling 2026 is the year Carter Faith blows up, and “Lay Your Heartache Onto Mine” is a strong start for the “Six String” singer.
The tragically beautiful song has a Spanish feel, which lends itself perfectly to the male feature, William Beckmann, a Del Rio, TX native with Mexican heritage on both sides of his family.
The ballad features a soft melody that lets the heartbreaking lyrics speak for themselves, as Faith and Beckmann embody two star-crossed lovers who drown their sorrows together on the dance floor.
“Lay your heartache onto mine
Underneath these dance hall lights
Play somethin’ slow and country, uh-huh
It’s a long, lonely night
Send a message in the wine
I’d like to think that we’ll be fine
Yeah, at least till closin’ time
Lay your heartache onto mine”
Beckmann and Faith’s lyrics pair perfectly together, and it makes me want to hear more from these two emerging artists.
Turn this one all the way up.
