It seems the levees of the motion picture industry could not contain the ego of Kevin Costner, and now it has spilled out and flooded country music. Hurrivain Costner made landfall on record shelves today in the form of “Untold Truths,” an album featuring 12 tracks with titles that include “Superman 14,” “Five Minutes From America” and “Hey Man What About You?”
We don’t plan on ever listening to the album, mainly because $700 billion may not be enough to bail out the US economy, but it probably was enough to make Costner sound just good enough to not be entertainingly horrific. But, that won’t stop us from speculating on what the songs are about!
Based on Costner’s movie aesthetic, we imagine “Untold Truths” is a concept album about an alcoholic ex-rodeo cowboy with a name like Gruff Stone. (more…)
