Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 4:53PM Video - Watch "The Weary Kind" from 'Crazy Heart'
The Jeff Bridges film Crazy Heart is powered as much by its music as it is its signature performance, one that might win Bridges an Oscar by the time it's all said and done. The Dude plays aging country singer-songwriter Bad Blake, who wears the years and the mileage of a life on the road on his weathered face.

T-Bone Burnett and the late Stephen Bruton worked on the musical score and the soundtrack features some of the greatest country acts from when they were distinguishable from pop stars - Waylon, Buck Owens, George Jones, Townes Van Zandt, and even the Louvin Brothers. But the song that stands out the most is new, Ryan Bingham's "The Weary Kind."
Certainly, this will be the first year two Ryan Bingham's will be Oscar nominees (that's the name of Clooney's Up in the Air character), but this Bingham displays the kind of authenticity a song from Crazy Heart genuinely needs to reflect where Bad Blake is at this stage in his career. Check out the video:

I turly dislike country music, but that song is pretty amazing.
I used to work for a country magazine and enjoyed it, but when I left the biz, I quit listening to country music (no real reason, it just happened). I was fortunate enough to meet all the greats. From Dwight Yoakam to Garth Brooks. But, like the previous comment, I don't really care for country anymore. This song is amazing and so is Jeff Bridges. I am so happy he won the Golden Globe ~ and, hopefully, the Oscar! It's long overdue IMO. :)
