“Music is the weed that keeps popping out of the concrete in my life

It just seems to want to come out.” Jeff Bridges All tracks previously unreleased 20-pg booklet including liner notes by Sam Sweet, new interview with Jeff Bridges, and never-before-seen archival photos Featuring Burgess Meredith (Rocky) Vinyl pressed on transparent blue wax at RTI Featuring Burgess Meredith (Rocky, Batman), members of Oingo Boingo, and assorted characters from the West Los Angeles art and music underground Culled from a single decaying cassere tape labeled “July 1978,” these recordings are a window into the secret musical life of the Dude

Even aoer becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Bridges spent all his free .me jamming and recording with a trusted circle of musicians composed of childhood friends, artists, and assorted L.A

oddballs. Imagine The Band playing at CBGB with The Exploding Plas.c Inevitable

Or Arthur Russell and the Talking Heads collabora.ng on a suite of mutant disco

Though Bridges and his friends were brought up around the movie industry, they decided to create their own private musical universe, where they could be as weird as they wanted

Their music opens a portal to a hidden world of outlandish creativity and camaraderie in 1970s Los Angeles

It’s the missing piece of his musical evolution, revealed here for the first .me in all its joyful abandon.
