'Sons of Anarchy' Season 7 FX Debuts New Ed Sheeran Song 'Make It Rain' on 'Red Roses' Episode, Listen Here (VIDEO)
"Sons of Anarchy" Season 7 on FX debuted a new Ed Sheeran song "Make It Rain" on the 'Red Roses' episode and it has been gaining a lot of attention. You can listen to the song above.
Sheeran has been public on twitter that he is a fan of the show and creator Kurt Sutter reached out and that is how the collaboration came about. This is the final season of SOA, so Sutter wanted Ed to be a part of it. "He gave me the criteria of what the song should be, and the first sentence was 'The sins of my father,'" Sheeran says on the Dec. 2 episode of "Anarchy Afterword."
"I have a very good friend called Foy [Vance] who has toured with me and is one of my main friends," Sheeran explains. "He has a song that starts off with 'the sins of my father' and I asked if I could cover it."
Sutter shared that Sheeran had a complete song to him in two weeks. "It blew everybody away," he says. "As soon as I heard it, I knew exactly where I was going to use it."
You can purchase "Make it Rain" currently on iTunes.
TheWrap recently caught up with cast stars Kim Coates and Theo Rossi about their experiences on the show and how it feels to have the show come to a close.
"We could still be telling this story for five more years, but when we signed on for a seven-year contract, in Sutter's mind, that's what it was always going to be," Kim said on wrapping up the show. "We are stopping this show on the top of the world, for sure...It's coming to an end real fast."
Season 7 began 10 days later (since Season 6 finale) with Jax in jail on a parole violation, grappling with the loss of the woman he loved. With the club's support, he sets in motion the brutal machinations that will lead to complete and merciless retribution.
"Sons of Anarchy" is a motorcycle drama from creator Kurt Sutter starring Charlie Hunnam, Katey Sagal, Theo Rossi, Jimmy Smits, Drea de Matteo, Peter Weller, Niko Nicotera, David LaBrava, Mark Boone Jr., Kim Coates and Tommy Flanagan.
