We love the groovy 1970s setting in the Max series “Duster,” with long hair, tight jeans, fast cars and a dy-no-mite soundtrack.
We not only hear the ’70s jams you might expect, like Rare Earth’s “I Just Want to Celebrate” and “All Right Now” by Free, but some much more obscure songs that might stump Shazam.
Here are all the songs in each episode so far, many of them blaring out of the stereo of Josh Holloway’s rad muscle car. And the main title song is from co-creator J.J. Abrams (who crafted the series along with LaToya Morgan). He also crafted the intro themes for previous shows “Lost” and “Alias.”
Morgan told TheWrap that she personally picked Curtis Mayfield’s “Superfly” for Episode 4, in which Holloway’s character Jim Ellis drag races on the open desert freeway with Benjamin Charles Watson (Royce Saxton) in a priceless car owned by none other than Howard Hughes.
