I was already a huge fan of The Sopranos (formerly on HBO), and found myself drawn in by the sublime music selections put together by music editor Kathryn Dayak and in part by the show’s creator, David Chase. Mr. Chase was instantly put in a lofty place when I learned he discovered A3’s remix of Leonard Cohen’s brilliant “Woke Up This Morning” (iTunes link) aka The Sopranos theme song on KCRW, a favorite station of mine back in L.A.

The HBO site has a complete episode guide, with a listing of music tracks for each episode, some with links directly to iTunes. I am probably the perfect candidate for their target demo as I have pretty diverse taste in music, running from classical to punk to hip hop to metal to electronic and so on. I picked up several tracks, including Buddy Miles, James Gang, Willie Bobo, Diana Ross, Husky Rescue and Los Lobos.
