Songs that feel like Tulsa King (2022)
An aging, old-school mobster tries to transplant his asphalt-hard Brooklyn code into the wide-open expanse of Oklahoma, trading concrete for cowboy boots with stubborn swagger.
- Whitehouse Road by Tyler Childers: Channels the rugged, hard-living spirit of carving out a new empire in the dusty American heartland.
- The Waiting by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers: Speaks directly to serving twenty-five long years behind bars just to start over from scratch.
- Straight To Hell by Drivin' N' Cryin': A rebellious southern-rock anthem that mirrors Dwight's refusal to bow down to younger, ungrateful bosses.
- Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash: The ultimate narrative of an old-school outlaw doing what he wants, consequences be damned.
- Trouble by Cage The Elephant: Reflects the weary comedy of walking into a brand new city and immediately starting fights.
- Black Betty by Spiderbait: High-octane, aggressive rhythm that matches the shock of an old-school capo stepping onto modern turf.
- State Trooper by Bruce Springsteen: Captures the tense, midnight-driving paranoia of a man fleeing his past while looking over his shoulder.
