Featuring one of the most specifically time-period relevant soundtracks, The Tender Bar soundtrack successfully combines the greatest hits from the late 1960’s, 1970’s, and early 1980’s with some lesser known songs by the biggest artists during that time. The Tender Bar— directed by none other than George Clooney — starring Tye Sheridan, Ben Affleck, Lily Rabe, Daniel Ranieri, Christopher Lloyd, and Briana Middleton is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
