| Ryan Bingham & The Dead Horses |
Singer/songwriter Ryan Bingham has carried out the last number of years in clubs and bars around the nation, but factors truly got crazy in 2009.
“Yeah man, one particular moment I was sitting on the couch asking yourself what the hell I was going to complete,” Bingham stated inside a telephone interview. “The following, I’m having a hamburger with T. Bone (Burnett) and Jeff Bridges.”
Burnett, a legendary record producer, and Bridges, a well-respected actor, were looking for music for the 2009 film “Crazy Heart,” a story about a washed-up country singer (played by Bridges) who helps make a comeback. Earlier, Bingham had linked with Scott Cooper, director of “Crazy Heart,” read the script and written some songs for the film.
During the meeting with Burnett and Bridges, Bingham gave them a CD of some of his function and was ultimately invited to perform a couple of songs … at Burnett’s house, that is definitely.
No pressure, correct?
“It’s like, if they hear your song and it sucks, you’re out the door,” said Bingham, who is performing tonight with his band The Dead Horses at Crossroads. “I had part of it on disc after which sang a verse and chorus.
“The initial time I played it, T Bone stated, ‘S---, I believe that will perform.’ It is a single of these moments that just occurred so quickly, I didn’t genuinely recognize it. We just got appropriate into it and hung out the rest of the afternoon.”
Factors got genuinely crazy soon after that. Bingham performed three songs for the soundtrack, “Gone, Gone, Gone,” “I Do not Know” and “The Weary Sort,” and had a small role within the film as Tony. “The Weary Kind” won a Golden Globe for Greatest Original Song, an Oscar for Best Original Song at the 2010 Academy Awards and Song from the Year in the Americana Music Association Awards.
“The exposure as well as the encounter were the principle things,” said Bingham, a former rodeo rider who grew up in Texas. “I met many cool persons, and it was many entertaining, inspiring as well. I discovered a lot. Those guys have been down that road, and it was an awesome mastering encounter.”
Bingham previously self-released “Wishbone Saloon” and “Dead Horses” after which “Mescalito” on Lost Highway Records in 2007; “Roadhouse Sun” in 2009 - produced by former Black Crowes guitarist Marc Ford; and “Junky Star” last year, created by Burnett.
Texas Music Magazine writes that “Bingham talks and sings having a whiskey-and-cigarette throat that screams hard living. Tricky inside a way that can make a 29-year-old sound like a 50-year-old Tom Waits.
