>>...When Burnett cracked open the 500-page script for True Detective's first season (each season tells a different story, with the initial one spanning eight episodes), he instantly fell in love with the characters and dialogue (which he calls "some of the best tough-guy dialogue I've ever heard"). More than that, he felt an artistic connection to the material.
"It was like reading a good novel," Burnett says. "Right from the very beginning, when I read the description of a burnt-out field, I thought of the cover of my album Tooth of Crime, and said to myself, 'This guy's been tapping my phone!'...
...Burnett's affection for the series comes through in his song selection, which plays like a sinister blues and gospel party mix. When he began working on this project, he and Pizzolatto both agreed that there should be an unofficial policy to veer the soundtrack away from Louisiana swamp blues and Cajun music because "it's already been done so much," Burnett says. The soundtrack includes tracks like "Bring It to Jerome" by Bo Diddley, "Clear Spot" by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, "Stand By Me" by The Staple Singers, and "Honey Bee (Let's Fly to Mars)" by Grinderman. "It's like scoring an eight-hour movie," Burnett says.
Along with his curation, Burnett has something else planned for True Detective that will please his fans: original music. So far, he has written a piece with jazz artist Cassandra Wilson, and is writing another with singer and banjo player Rhiannon Giddens of the Carolina Chocolate Drops. (He is currently working on a separate album with Giddens.) Both are expected to be featured on season-one episodes. On the latter, Burnett plays a Swarmatron analog synthesizer, which he calls a "great, scary instrument."...<<
