Ryan Bingham & T-Bone Burnett Win An Oscar For Crazy Heart

Texas Songwriter Triumphs With Oscar

Ryan Bingham and T-Bone Burnett won an Oscar tonight for their song “The Weary Kind”, which served as the theme track for the Jeff Bridges film Crazy Heart. Several years ago, my friend Marc Ford told me about this kid songwriter from Texas he was producing on a record called Mescalito. Last year I spoke with Bingham regarding his sophomore record called Roadhouse Sun. And this year, he won an Oscar. I have to congratulate this former rodeo-circuit singing-cowboy for his accomplishment…

Well, as I write this, Jeff Bridges gives his acceptance speech for Best Actor for Crazy Heart from the world’s stage. Congratulations to Ryan, T-Bone and Jeff Bridges for writing a great song about a storyteller…

Tonight It’s T For Texas…
