Last week ago I was zooming through Saluda Country, South Carolina, contemplating the wonder that is XM Radio. I was very happy because it was sunny, I was driving through picturesque and historic little towns, and the live broadcast of "Fresh Air" was on.
But wait — it gets even better. Yes, T-Bone Burnett was the guest for the day. He has had such an amazing career, I'm sad the interview was a scant hour. You might know T-Bone as a record producer extraordinaire and the force behind many great movie soundtracks including "O Brother Where Art Thou"? **
On this particular day T-Bone spoke about his latest project, a new film called "Crazy Heart," about a down-and-out country singer, played by Jeff Bridges. Much of the music was written by T-Bone with, more importantly, the late Stephen Bruton.
So it got even better.
