After watching "the dude" play a country singer in a movie a while back I just couldn't get enough of the soundtrack as it was real country. Low and behold one of the bit actors in said film was also a major contributor to the soundtrack. Ol' Ryan Bingham just released a new album not too long ago that is just as full of grit and character as any John Wayne movie. This dude has a flow about his songs that lull you into a high desert kind of mindset in which its a never ending sunset on a long highway that you just don't want to run out of gas on. Pick up his latest album Junky Star on Lost Highway Records as its one I know will be played over and over and over.
