Music
The score for Days of Thunder was composed by Hans Zimmer, with Jeff Beck making a guest appearance on guitar. This was the first of an on-going list of films in which Zimmer composed the score for a Jerry Bruckheimer production.
The song "Last Note of Freedom" was sung by David Coverdale of the band Whitesnake at the request of Tom Cruise himself. Vocal parts of David Coverdale were recorded in 1990 in Los Angeles during a day off during the Slip of the Tongue Liquor and Poker world tour.
A score album was never released, although a bootleg was later available.
