It’s already been such a remarkable experience being a part of this film, and working alongside such incredible talents as T Bone Burnett, Jeff Bridges, & Stephen Bruton. To be recognized today by the Hollywood Foreign Press for “The Weary Kind” – together with musical legend T Bone Burnett – is such an honor!

A deluxe edition of the soundtrack featuring all 23 songs from the film, sequenced in their running order, will also be available. The music is from 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 and guitarist/songwriter Stephen Bruton, whom the film is dedicated to. With Burnett also a producer of 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. 9215 Olympic Blvd. Beverly Hills, CA 90212 ph: 310-246-5766 About New West Records: New West Records LLC is an eleven year old, wholly independent record label distributed in the United States by RED Distribution.
