Musical Stars Align For Civil War Drama ‘The Gray House’ With Willie Nelson, Shania Twain, Yolanda Adams, Lainey Wilson, Killer Mike & More On The Soundtrack
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: The musical stars are coming out for Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman‘s The Gray House. Leslie Greif opened the series’ playlist exclusively for Deadline and there is serious star wattage in there, including an original song performed by country music legend Willie Nelson, which closes the series.
Elsewhere, Shania Twain, Killer Mike and Yolanda Adams are among those to feature, and Jon Bon Jovi co-writes one of the show’s songs. “My idea was, instead of having one [end] title song, I’m going to have eight different songs by Grammy-winning artists and in different genres of music, which are written for our show and are going to tell a story of that episode,” said Greif, who exec produces and wrote the script with Darrell Fetty, and John Sayles.
Nelson’s “Heart of America” was penned by Erin Enderlin, Jim ‘Moose’ Brown and Jeff Fahey. It closes the limited series, which counts Costner and Freeman as exec producers.
The show follows a trio of unsung female heroes who are part of a spy ring attempting to turn the tide of the American Civil War in favor of the North.
