“Crazy Heart” Soundtrack, just what the doctor prescribed

The Crazy Heart Soundtrack has just be released. I have been anticipating it since I saw the movie about a month ago. 24 tracks and I`m not disappointed. Stephen Bruton and T-Bone Burnett were the co-producers of the soundtrack. Stephen Bruton died of cancer on May 9, 2009 at the age of 60. Five of the songs from the movie were co-written by Stephen: Hold On You, Fallin` & Flyin`, Somebody Else, I Don`t Know and Gone Gone Gone.

I sense that the movie about a washed-up country singer/songwriter is buildin` momentum. I predict that the music will build up even more momentum and will be a sure fire classic very soon. It`s that good. Love the theme, The Weary Kind, but my favorite is Fallin` & Flyin`. Old time country standards are mixed in with newer ones. Included are: Hello Trouble by Buck Owens and Mal Hombre by Lydia Mendoza. Oh, don`t forget George Jones` Color of the Blues.

Apparently, Stephen Bruton made a contribution to the screenplay also. The movie is based on a book, Crazy Heart by Thomas Cobb. But some say the Bad Blake character, played by Jeff Bridges, is based on Stephen Bruton, who clocked in more than 40 years on the road playin` music.

With so much money on the line from future royalties, a law suit has been filed by Stephen`s ex, Mary Bruton. I`ll link you some details on that…I have a feelin` this one`s hit paydirt!
