AceShowbiz - AMC has released a music video for "Better Call Saul: The Song" to hype up the upcoming premiere of the new series. It mostly features country music singer Junior Brown performing the original song written by series creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, with some footage from the show occasionally appearing on screen or on TV within the clip.
The lyrics reveal some potential cases to be handled by the title character. "Your husband disappeared in the most convenient way/ Now your troubles are gone, the insurance will surely pay/ You get to the bank but the cops say 'Whoa!'/ Who you gonna dial when they lock you down low?" Brown sings. "Saul, Saul, you better call Saul/ He'll fight for your rights, when your back's to the wall/ He'll stick it to the man, justice for all."
A prequel to the award-winning series "Breaking Bad", "Better Call Saul" is set six years before Saul Goodman became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet.
Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut, a beloved character introduced in "Breaking Bad". The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."
Bob Odenkirk returns as Saul and Jonathan Banks reprises his role as Mike. Initially planned to premiere this fall, the show is now slated to debut in early 2015. AMC has ordered a 13-episode season 2 for the drama series for a 2016 airing.
