Kevin Costner and Modern West: Untold Truths (Blue Wrasse Records)
DIRECTOR, producer and actor Kevin Costner has opted to release a country album after reaching the heights of film stardom.
Costner has been involved in songwriting and music for around two decades and as a musician had his own band, Roving Boy, long before he hit the silver screens.
We know him better for the Oscar-winning acting and directing in Dances With Wolves, Field of Dreams and The BodyGuard, but I’m sure that listening to his new release will earn him some musical fame.
With his band, Modern West, he bounces his way through some great new songs using a contemporary feel that, for me, is one of the freshest sounds around.
Apparently his performing style has been compared to Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, but I feel that Costner has a unique edge of his own.
The album is not available until February 23, however I do assure you it’s worth waiting for. It’s great.
