KEVIN COSTNER & MODERN WEST Turn It On (2010 UK 11-track CD
album - Prior to achieving major success as a film actor, director &
producer, Kevin Costner grew up with a deep love for and interest in
music. Modern West began after Kevin's wife, Christine, encouraged
him to reconnect with his love of music. In 2005, he, Coinman and
Forward decided to build a new band together. With the addition of
lead guitarist and producer Teddy Morgan, drummer Larry Cobb and
guitarist, vocalist Park Chisolm, they named the band Modern West
and in 2008 released their debut album 'Untold Truths'. Following the
success of 'Untold Truths' [peaking at #61 on the Billboard Top
Country Albums and #35 on the Top Heatseekers chart], Modern West
now present 'Turn It On'. The album is a mix of true Rootsrock ála
Bruce Springsteen and traditional Country music and radiates a fresh
charm. Kevin is no longer just Hollywood icon but a sympathic
musician full of passion and feeling. 'Turn It On' does not sound like a
movie star's vanity project. It's contemporary Americana set against a
Western backdrop. He sings about freight trains, dusty avenues and
broken dreams in a voice that's truly pleasant...and he commands the
stage with the same understated sex appeal he has on the big
screen!).
