Album Review: Jeff Bridges (self-titled)

Perhaps this is what winning an Oscar does to you. Actors, they say, become immersed in their characters to the point that they actually live them. This commonly held truth about actors is usually not taken to quite such a literal extreme as in the case of Jeff “the dude” Bridges. Following his Oscar-winning role as a country singer in 2009’s Crazy Heart, life seems to be imitating art for this iconic actor with the release of his debut album. I have to confess a certain degree of scepticism about this album prior to listening, but Bridges has chosen some experienced and skilled collaborators and displays, if not a particularly stunning voice, a strong feeling for a good song.
