Today's Needle Drop is chosen by music supervisor Juliet Martin.

JM - The music supervision on Fargo Season 2 was so excellent I Googled the music sup straightaway… its by Maggie Phillips my Normal People collaborator! Lisa Hannigan is one of my favourite Irish artists and it was just so unexpected to hear her version of Danny Boy on this American show set in 1979. Danny Boy is one of those ubiquitous Irish tunes - but Hannigan's performance of it is so beautiful and in conjunction with the picture it becomes something completely different. I love the way the score overlays the scene and creates a sense of foreboding towards the end. Not only is it a brilliant showcase of the creative side of music supervision it also shows how we are involved in commissioning and organising the re-recording of material and the licensing. Danny Boy is out of copyright so it would have kept the cost down for the production.
