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.
-
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.
-
Aug 16, 2011Bridges has talented friends and mentors who help bring out the best in him, which is surprisingly good.
-
Aug 15, 2011The ghostly "Slow Boat," which Bridges co-wrote with Burnett and Thomas Cobb, shares its title with a song referenced in Cobb's Crazy Heart, but which was unused in the film adaptation. These underplayed self-referential moments add character to the album and allow Bridges to make it a more definitive personal statement.
-
Sep 1, 2011It's all tastefully arranged.
-
Aug 16, 2011Sure, this album gains depth from his film history - these laid-back country-rock songs suggest a cleaned-up Bad Blake, or a Dude with ambitions beyond the bowling lanes.
-
Aug 19, 2011Bridges' voice and guitar playing are also serviceable, but the lack of variety causes the album to fall short of becoming recommendable.
