It seems that these days some television shows are marked by the quality of their music – the better the music, the better the show.

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.
