The second volume of songs from ‘Boardwalk Empire’ features Elvis Costello, Patti Smith and Neko Case singing standards from the 1920s.
Randall Poster, who music consultant to ‘Skyfall’, ‘The Hangover’ series and ‘Lost’, was music supervisor for the ‘Boardwalk Empire Vol 2’ album. Poster has worked with Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson and Sam Mendes and provided the musical backdrop for ‘Boardwalk Empire’.
“It’s been a steady treat to mark the passing of time in song over the course of four seasons,” Poster said in a statement. “Terry Winters, Martin Scorsese and the entire Boardwalk Empire team inspire the sound of the episodes as we move from the streets and alleys of Atlantic City to the smoky rooms of Al Capone’s Chicago and on down into the tropics of Florida. This compilation celebrates the mastery of all the artists involved.”
