Costner chatted with American Songwriter that same year about how the album relates to the plot of “Yellowstone.” “It’s really a concept record,” Costner said. “Sometimes there are songs that aren’t really necessarily about [Costner’s character] John Dutton. I have my own muse when I’m away from home, for when I’m making a movie, and there are songs that kind of blend in and also complement what’s happening.” Moreover, music has been a longtime source of inspiration for Costner as he takes on roles beyond “Yellowstone.”
