Siamo sicuri che il successo di una serie sia, senza dubbio, anche merito di una colonna sonora pressoché perfetta. É sicuramente il caso di Peaky Blinders, serie televisiva britannica drammatica, creata da Steven Knight e ambientata a Birmingham dopo la prima guerra mondiale. La notizia è che verrà pubblicata la colonna sonora ufficiale il 15 novembre. (al link in basso la corposa scaletta)
Il materiale incluso è vastissimo se consideriamo che le 5 stagioni, scorporate, annoverano un totale di 30 episodi. Il cofanetto raccoglierà in doppio CD e triplo vinile tutte le canzoni ascoltare in questi anni e sarà infarcito dalla presenza di storiche canzoni di David Bowie, Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, The White Stripes, Royal Blood, The Last Shadow Puppets, Queens of the Stone Age, Black Sabbath, Laura Marling, Foals ma anche contributi speciali come i brani composti appositamente per la serie (Jehnny Beth delle Savages con I’m The Man e Anna Calvi con il pezzo You’re Not God) e le cover di Ballad of A Thin Man di Bob Dylan firmata Richard Hawley e Pj Harvey che rifà Nick Cave nella storica Red Right Hand.
