Yellowstone Actor Is A Prolific Musician

You may know Ryan Bingham for his role as Walker on Yellowstone, but you might not realize that he has received multiple prestigious awards, including an Academy Award, a Grammy, a Golden Globe Award, and a Critics’ Choice Award.

Bingham released his first song, “Freight Train,” in 2002. Since then, he has enjoyed a successful career as both an actor and a musician.

He won all of his awards primarily for the original song he co-wrote and performed for the 2009 award-winning film Crazy Heart, called “The Weary Kind.”

Ryan Bingham On Yellowstone

Bingham originally met with Taylor Sheridan to discuss helping with the musical side of Yellowstone.

When Sheridan discovered that the singer grew up on a ranch in New Mexico and had learned to ride horses, he decided to write a role for him on the show.

Hear the full story below.

Walker’s storyline in Yellowstone is intriguing. It began when the ranch needed additional help, and they hired him on his first day out of prison, where he was serving time for accidentally killing someone.

Walker began to discover the ranch’s more devious side and wanted nothing to do with it.

He was given the choice of complying or being taken to the “train station.”

He chose to be taken to the train station. Now, if you’re a Yellowstone fan, you know this is essentially a death sentence. This is where the Dutton family would bring all those who have come against the ranch and that they have killed.

Fortunately for Walker, he survived his trip to the train station. Kayce Dutton granted him his life on the condition that he would keep the secrets of the Yellowstone ranch. All Walker had to do was leave and never return.

Clearly, that is not what happened as his story developed. Through a strange turn of events, Walker returns to the ranch and becomes a permanent member of the crew and the Yellowstone series.

Ryan Bingham’s Original Song For Yellowstone

Today, December 13, Ryan Bingham has released “A Song For The Stone,” which he originally played in Yellowstone’s Season 5, Episode 9.

When Bingham released the song, he said it was an emotional tribute to the series that he had been a part of from the early stages. In his own words:

“I’d like to dedicate this song to all the Yellowstone fans out there, all the cast and crew, and all the folks that have made this whole thing possible over the years. It’s been a pretty amazing journey, and I’m honored to just be a part of. It’s taken me a while to write this song, but sometimes you’ve got to live it before you can write it.”

The song expresses the emotions that viewers feel while watching Yellowstone.
