Crazy Heart -- the movie
Anyone seen this? Susie and I saw it over the weekend, and I was not only happy with the location and frequency of the steel guitar, but the songs Bridges sang (and he did sing) were fresh and not the usual cookie-cutter tunes that are common in today's country music.

Tonight on NPR's "Fresh Air" Terri Gross had a one hour interview with T Bone Burnett. You can probably find it in the NPR web archives. They have several outtakes from the sound track and he discusses the writing process for the movie.
T Bone also talks about teaching Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon to sing for the Johnny Cash movie. Phoenix nailed "walk The Line" in one take...Well, after he had rehearsed it every day for three months. I'm thinking, why wouldn't he?????????

It's just in limited release right now, large metro areas, and is supposed to go nation wide next month. They had to get it in a certain number of theaters last month, so it would qualify for the upcoming industry award season.Ken Thompson wrote:Is this movie playing in theaters? I have not heard of it. I doubt that it will play here but it should be a rental.

Jeff Bridges - one of America's great, most underrated actor.
The Big Labowski, and the one with his brother [Beau], both musicans [with Michele Phieffer] - The ? Brothers.
And let's not forget about the influence Sea Hunt must have had on their acting careers

Chip, that would be "The Fabulous Baker Boys." (That was the one where Jeff told his brother that his hair dye was paint.)
"Be the envy of your friends
with Miracle Hair''?
This is paint, Frank.
No, it's a magical sheath that
simulates a dazzling head of hair.
-Frank, this is paint!
-Just help me put it on."
Actually, Jeff did an album in 2000 called "Be Here Soon." Had some cool songs, but not country, even though Jay Dee Maness is listed among the musicians on the album.

Jeff Jennings
From the clips on TV, Jeff looks like the second coming of Waylon, not KK.

Jeff is also great in 'Tucker, The Man and his Dream', 'The
Last American Hero', 'Rancho Deluxe', 'The Last Picture Show', and 'Texasville', all favorites of mine and well worth seeing.

Gonna hopefully take the missus this weekend...cool to see Robert Duvall is in this one too (of course, he played "Mac Sledge" in Tender Mercies, a movie from the early 80s in a similar vein).

Craig, how bout that soundtrack from "Rancho Deluxe"? If you like early Jimmy Buffet (1975) with superb steel work by Doyle Grisham. Not to mention it is a beautiful movie to watch. I believe it was shot in Montana. That's a YOUNG Jeff Bridges with sidekick Sam Waterston (Law & Order) as two wanna be cattle rustlers. Jeff Bridges has been a great actor for a long time. Love "The Big Labowski". Don't know who could have been better as The Dude!

Agreed Mike, I have the soundtrack to Rancho Deluxe on CD and the Movie on VHS, someday I will get the DVD. My only complaint about the soundtrack is like alot of them from that time, the songs are all short, wish they would just let the tape roll, there are some real kickin' instrumentals on the record. I have the album framed in my bar/music room, it's a real cool album cover.
Regards, Craig

Finally saw it last night. I thought the movie was good, 3.5 out of 5. Maggie G was OK, didn't think her part was casted properly. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised at Colin Ferrel. Had no clue he could actually sing, and he was good! Jeff Bridges.... Priceless! Not only was his singing fantastic, his portrayal of an old legend down on his luck was so real it was mesmerizing. Oscar Material if you ask me! A must see for Bridges performance alone.
PS Also loved the soundtrack.

There appears to be some controversy related to production of the film...

Ron Sodos on Steel
The chap that you saw on steel, was Ron Sodos of Alb' NM, and a member of the SW Steel Guitar Association...or so I have been told.
