Better Call Saul soundtrack: Complete guide to all the songs featured in the show
Better Call Saul is a crime drama television series produced by AMC and created by Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan. The series is a spin-off of Gilligan's own series Breaking Bad (2008–2013) and is primarily a prequel, though a few scenes occur during and after the Breaking Bad era.
The plot is set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for most of the early to mid-2000s, some years before the Breaking Bad narrative. Better Call Saul is about the fall into debasement of Jimmy McGill, played by Bob Odenkirk, a seasoned criminal who attempts to practice law.
As he transforms into the self-serving lawyer Saul Goodman, he faces a tense relationship with Kim Wexler and ongoing conflicts with his brother Chuck and partner Howard Hamlin.
Better Call Saul's soundtrack is a broad assortment of tracks that range from Esquivel's lounge rendition of Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Al Kooper's take on Season of the Witch, providing innovative covers of classic songs.

About Better Call Saul
Better Call Saul is a prequel to the hugely popular Breaking Bad. The series is centered on Jimmy McGill, an ex-grifter attempting to establish a new life as an attorney.
Narrated primarily between 2002 and 2004, the series is all about his quest for respect, his ambivalent relationships, specifically with his brother Chuck and colleague Kim Wexler, and the way he turns into the suave, morally complex lawyer Saul Goodman.
As Jimmy in Better Call Saul constructs his career in law, he encounters members of the criminal underworld, and he gets more and more entangled in illegal enterprise. The series also delves into clashes between a drug cartel and features characters such as Mike Ehrmantraut and Gus Fring.
Outside the prequel chronology, Better Call Saul also features flashforwards after Breaking Bad, which illustrate Jimmy's existence in exile with a new name.
