The “Daisy Jones & the Six” music team had an impossible task: create new songs that sound like they’d be on one of the biggest albums of all time. Here’s how they pulled it off.
“My first impression was, ‘Uh-oh,’” Berg tells The Daily Beast with a laugh. “Neither of them was a professional singer, and they were going to be asked to perform as singers in what was the biggest band in the world. Now, that is daunting.”Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling 2019 novel
In other words, before you even see them on screen—with all the bell bottoms and porn ’staches and other ’70s period trappings—you buy into the myth of Daisy Jones & the Six’s enormity from their sound alone. A lot has been made of the band’s obvious parallels with Fleetwood Mac—perhaps hinged more on their interpersonal relationships than the music itself.
“Riley was the ‘for sure,’” music supervisor Pine says. “I’m not really sure [why], besides the fact that she wanted the role. She read for them and they said, this is our Daisy. And then they looked to me to be like, all right, you’re gonna make this happen for us. Make sure she can sing and make sure she can play guitar.”
“It was so antithetical to anything that we were doing, but he was like, ‘Oh, ’70s rock song, I’ll do that!’ They were all shaking their heads,” Neustadter remembers. But after they gave Claflin a Beatles song to learn and he came back a second time, “They went from, like, ‘DEFCON 5, you can’t with this guy,’ to, ‘OK, there’s some potential here.
Beginning in January 2020, three months before they were due to begin filming, the cast would get to Sound City at 8 am, take one-on-one music lessons, play together in a rehearsal space, and then just hang out and shoot the shit, as real bands spend most of their time doing. They also studied footage of rock stars, including one of Chrissie Hynde recording a Pretenders album and performance clips of Janis Joplin and Bruce Springsteen.
