It seems that these days some television shows are marked by the quality of their music – the better the music, the better the show. Well, perhaps Nielson may not see it that way but I definitely think that viewers will tune in to a show partly because they are on the hunt for great music. The most recent addition to shows that achieve musical genius is NBC’s
The Black Donnellys. What makes this soundtrack so unique is all of the Irish sounding tunes that are placed throughout the show.

The Dropkick Murphys are awesome!
The opening song is just one of those Irish tunes, performed by the
Drop Kick Murphys and entitled "I'm Shipping Up to Boston." Similarly, another thematic song that has been used is "Lost" by
The Mudmen. Neither of these band are from Ireland (DKM are from Boston and The Mudmen are Canadian) but their Irish influences sound amazing.
The following is a list of songs from the pilot and from the second episode. Stay tuned to find out if
The Black Donnellys will have as much musical influence as
Grey’s Anatomy, television's soundtrack darling.
