Kiefer Sutherland - Not Enough Whiskey

The rumors are true! Actor Kiefer Sutherland has joined the world of Country Music!

Kiefer Sutherland's long anticipated Americana-tinged album, Down In A Hole, is set for release in 2016. Kiefer's debut track, "Not Enough Whiskey," will hit iTunes April 8.

"If I hear about an actor doing a music project, my eyes are the first to roll," he tells Rolling Stone. "It's been done before and, on some levels, not very well. A lot of actors make records but won't tour to support them or make videos, and it ends up not being serious. I felt strongly that this was something I wanted to do."

Today, the actor, who will be presenting at the ACM Awards this year, proves just how genuine he is in his ambitions by releasing a music video for "Not Enough Whiskey." He financed the clip himself — "I wanted something that was personal and traveling," he says — so he and his songwriting partner Jude Cole found a motel where they could film one long shot, through a parking lot and into a bar. It's a video that purposefully showcases Sutherland, who didn't want to "hide behind a band," to prove his commitment to being a musical artist.

Freak icon Leigh Bowery’s deliberately offensive art-punk performance art

Many can appreciate original music and stage performance. Only few can appreciate artists who go  above and beyond artistic expression.

Artists such as G.G. Allin can invoke intrigue and disgust all in one shot.

In the early 1990's, when bands such as Oasis and Pulp were being brought to the U.S airwaves, a band name Minty was born in London.

Fronted by Leigh Bowery, Minty was an obscure, fashionista/club kid/performance art, musical combo. Think The Cramps meets Butthole Surfers meets Culture Club meets B52's.

Strange Musical Instruments Never Seen Before - Man Invents Hundreds of them

This is what you get when you create art and music...

An Anarchestra is an orchestra of over two hundred unique musical instruments built (with a few exceptions) by Andy Thurlow and Alex Ferris,  an American musician, composer, and theorist.

These instruments have been created to explore alternative timbres, tunings, and methods of playing, and are set up as an interactive art installation that the public gets to play. These instruments can be tuned all to the same key making it hard to hit the wrong notes.

You don't have to be a good musician to play these!

BCR LA is proud to present, the 37th release from Black Country Rock, Billy Don Burns "A Night in Room 8"

  "Billy Don Burns came up with the best. The minute he hit Nashville he was collaborating with Harlan Howard, Willie Nelson, Wanda Jackson and writing hit songs for Connie Smith and others. Considered a friend to the greats in country music, Billy Don has always been one of those rare songwriters who shined in the Dylan/Kristofferson light of honesty and grit. 

Billy Don Burns has danced on the razor's edge of between literary prophecy and addiction with turns on the run, in rehab and in jail, but in the last year Billy Don has turned it all around and turned a new page of his life.
