Original Songs Performed By Jeff Bridges
“The Weary Kind (Theme From Crazy Heart)”

New West Records announces the release of Crazy Heart: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, due out on January 19th. A deluxe edition of the soundtrack featuring all 23 songs from the film, sequenced in their running order, will be in stores on February 2nd. The releases are companions to the upcoming Fox Searchlight Pictures movie Crazy Heart, starring Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Robert Duvall. The soundtrack was co-produced by 10-time Grammy® Award winner T Bone Burnett who is also credited with the 2009 Album Of The Year and Record of the Year Raising Sand, the worldwide smash album from Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Burnett, who co-produced the soundtrack with guitarist/songwriter Stephen Bruton, earned past Grammy Awards for his work on the 8-times Platinum release, O Brother Where Art Thou? And Platinum soundtrack to the Johnny Cash biopic, Walk The Line. The film Crazy Heart, which will have a limited release December 16th and opens wider in January, is already garnering praise from the press including The Wrap who declared, “The Oscar race needs to make room for Jeff Bridges and T Bone Burnett.”

With Burnett also producing the film, the music plays a prominent role. Burnett co-composed the film’s score with Bruton and co-wrote many of its original songs, including the pivotal track written throughout the film by Jeff Bridges’ hard-living country singer, Bad Blake, “The Weary Kind (Theme From Crazy Heart),” written with acclaimed Texas singer/songwriter Ryan Bingham. The song is performed numerous times in the film by Bridges himself and a Bingham version premieres over the film’s trailer. At 28, Bingham has encountered more at this early stage in his life than many will in an entire lifetime. He writes from the genuine perspective of an old soul and has a growing fan base in the US and abroad. Most recently he toured with the legendary Flatlanders and performed at Farm Aid. Bingham makes his acting debut in the film and performs “I Don’t Know” co-written by Bruton and Burnett. Buddy Miller, Jay Bellerose and Greg Leisz were among the notable musicians called in to play on the original songs.

The film is dedicated to Bruton, a lifelong friend of Burnett who passed away earlier this year. In a long and distinguished career, Bruton excelled as a musician, songwriter and producer. He played guitar with Kris Kristofferson since the early 70s, had songs recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash among others, and released five records as a solo artist, the last three for New West. Just before passing, Bruton was working on Crazy Heart both musically and in a consultation role for Bridges. Bruton was able to see the completion of the project before his death.

On the soundtrack, the new original music sung by the films actors, is interwoven with songs by artists who’ve lived the movie’s story including Waylon Jennings (“Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way”) and Townes Van Zandt (“If I Needed You”). The soundtrack is rounded out with music from Buck Owens (“Hello Trouble”), The Louvin Brothers (“My Baby’s Gone”), Lightnin’ Hopkins (“Once A Gambler”) and Sam Phillips (“Reflecting Light”).

About Crazy Heart (From Fox Searchlight)

Four-time Academy Award ® nominee Jeff Bridges stars as the richly comic, semi-tragic romantic antihero Bad Blake in the debut feature film from writer-director Scott Cooper. Bad Blake is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (Maggie Gyllenhall), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man’s crazy heart.
