An excerpt from famous sons Lukas Nelson and Shooter Jennings' cover of "Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" has opened Netflix series The Ranch since its 2016 debut. Now fans of songwriters Ed and Patsy Bruce's classic, made famous by the recent duet partners' dads Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, finally get to hear the new version in its entirety. The duet is from The Ranch's official soundtrack, which arrives on Jan. 24.
The album mostly features previously released material by country music artists signed to the label that's releasing it, Nashville-based Curb Records. Its release date coincides with the launch of the series' eighth and final season, starring Ashton Kutcher and Sam Elliott. Since the series debuted, episodes named after country songs have had impressive, country-heavy soundtracks.
