Aug 12, 2011Crazy Heart reminded us that the Oscar-winning actor could sing, so the surprise here isn't Bridges' worn-denim vocals, which producer T Bone Burnett surrounds with his trademark chamber-country atmospherics.
-
Sep 1, 2011Jeff Bridges might not be the actor's most emotional performance - to see that you need to watch the last five minutes of Fearless - but it is a surprisingly heartfelt piece of work, packed with enough hooks and harmonies to show he's obviously a keen student of the greats.
-
Aug 25, 2011If you're a fan of Burnett's sound or just plain curious you'll find this a welcome project that does exactly what it sets out to do.

UncutAug 18, 2011Here, as always, he turns out to be a natural. [Sep 2011, p.81]
-
Aug 16, 2011Bridges has talented friends and mentors who help bring out the best in him, which is surprisingly good.
-
Aug 16, 2011Bridges' frayed charisma fits these songs perfectly. Nostalgic yet out of time, welcoming but secretly brooding, the combination creates an audio correlative to the beloved characters he's played on-screen.
-
Aug 23, 2011True to form, his major-label debut is a personal, understated and unpredictable collection.
-
Aug 16, 2011Like many actors who try their hand at music, Bridges may have made this record because he could, and the acclaim for "Crazy Heart'' offered him a prime opportunity. It's so winning, however, because Bridges had something to say.
-
Aug 15, 2011In general there's the dusky, reverberant sound of the album, which turns Mr. Bridges into a cog in the T Bone Burnett Americana machine.
