Harris Estate Music

Harris Estate Music

It may sound odd to think about the soundtrack of a novel, but Harris Estate was written with several musical references.  To hear what the characters hear, really draws you into what they are experiencing.  


Little Big Town has a wonderful song called "Girl Crush."  There is a pivotal part of the story that takes place between two characters while dancing to the song.   The song relates to their story and draws you in deeper to their growing connection.  


Dave Matthews Band played an excellent concert in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2009, which becomes a commonality among Leah Murphy and Nick Jefferson, the lead officer investigating her case.


Oakdale, Texas is the scene for the majority of our story and Blake Shelton can be heard in the police station on an old dusty radio playing "Drink On It."  A little later "Sangria" plays at a local hot spot. 


The local bar starts up the nights dancing with "Little Red Wagon" by Miranda Lambert, which stirs up the crowd and draws them to the dance floor.


Music definitely adds a personal touch to the story of Harris Estate and all of our lives.
