Crazy Heart wins for best song and best actor!

Well I was very pleased that The Weary Kind got Best Song at the Oscars last night and Jeff Bridges got Best Actor for his portrait of a Country & Western singer/songwriter, who`s in the twilight of his career. If you haven`t seen this movie yet, you`re in for a treat. And even better is the Deluxe Soundtrack, produced by T Bone Burnett and Stephen Burton.As you listen to the soundtrack you may want to refer to my review of it. 

It`s good to know these artists` biographies and something about their discographies. Country artists like George Jones have literally 100s of records out, along with many tall tales that are most interesting to chew on. One famous one is when George Jones drove a tractor lawn mower to town once just to get liquor. *(the photo is Bad goin` to a gig, I believe in New Mexico somewhere? Love that SUV and old tweed Fender amp-have one myself.)

Bad Blake is a composite of many Outlaw Country greats (check out theSOP.org too while you`re over there!). Can you name some of the artists who were included in his character?
