American Woman
SEASON FINALE 10/9c, Paramount Network
AFTER NEWLY SEPARATED ’70s housewife Bonnie (Alicia Silverstone, near right) meets hot artist Adam (Sam Morgan) at a party, they have a very close encounter up against a wall as “More, More, More” blares. Finding that Andrea True Connection tune to score the sexy American Woman scene is the work of music supervisor Ann Kline (The Magicians, Shameless), whose job is both creative and, at times, taxing. (“There’s so much paperwork,” she says, “searching for song rights, negotiations….”) Over the course of the dramedy’s first season, she’s cultivated a surprising soundtrack ranging from era-specific (The Guess Who, Roy Orbison) to contemporary (The Peach Kings, Tennis). Kline fills us in.
