“Supernatural” – The CW 1 Hour Drama/Series
Aside from now officially being the longest running Science Fiction series in Television history, this is one of the most fun projects in TV that I’ve ever worked on, for several reasons. Outstanding lead actors, amazing writers and producers who are smart, funny, and love music, a huge variety of musical styles to play with, and fans that are very loyal and cool. We just completed our 15th and final season and years ago released a Supernatural Soundtrack CD on Water Tower Music which is available on Amazon and iTunes. Aside from the brilliant and funny Eric Kripke, who created the show, I am re-teamed with producers/directors Robert Singer and Phil Sgriccia, two giants in my book. This gig is ‘quality of life’ on a TV series.
Several of the selections below are ‘suites’ edited together for the Soundtrack CD. At the bottom you’ll find the very tongue in cheek Supernatural “Sitcom theme” from one of the funniest episodes, season 5’s ‘Changing Channels’, one of 4 songs I’ve written for the series.
The Soundtrack entered the AMAZON Chart at #24 – two weeks before its release and entered the chart at #3 on the day of its release.
