After watching the series premiere of HBO’s How To Make It In America, I had to find the track they used for the opening credits.  Turns out the song is called “I Need a Dollar” and it’s by soul artist Aloe Blacc.  It’s the lead single off his second album called Good Things, due out this April.  The song is cool, it’s got a catchy hook, and definitely worth a listen.  Preview it below, get the free single, and download the “I Need a Dollar” EP at iTunes (it includes this “I Need a Dollar,” “Take Me Back,” and instrumental versions of each).
