• 'Sons of Anarchy' Finale: 6 Best Musical Moments by The Forest Rangers, Curtis Stigers and Paul Brady [LISTEN]

    "Music Times" had the chance to speak with Bob Thiele Jr., music supervisor of FX's "Sons of Anarchy," a few weeks ago about his journey in music in television so far. He created another character on the hit show, which was the episode-ending montages that were often some of contemporary music's most-beloved songs.Well, that never scared Thiele, The Forest Rangers or vocal guests like Curtis Stigers and Paul Brady away.

  • The Forest Rangers Cover Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' for 'Sons of Anarchy'

    For one of the most ambitious covers yet, music supervisor Bob Thiele Jr. had to rework Queen's 1975 classic "Bohemian Rhapsody." Not exactly the easiest of tasks.
