Country Music Telvision (CMT) is getting into the TV movie business.

Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jeff Bridges and Robert Duvall will all star in the country music drama, "Crazy Heart."

T-Bone Burnett, will be writing the film's original music and soundtrack.

The plot focuses on an unlucky and downtrodden, alcoholic

country music singer (Bridges) who attempts to get his life and career back on track with the help and love of a female reporter (Gyllenhaal).

The film is supposed to start next month around Santa Fe, N.M and Bridges will actually perform some of the original songs in the film.

Brian Mansfield  on the Nashville band - The Steeldrivers.

"The SteelDrivers earn their name not only with Chris Stapleton's hard, hoarse shout but also with the relentless attack of Tammy Rogers' fiddle and Mike Henderson's mandolin…the group has galvanized into a force in bluegrass and beyond."

Seems like a great cast and very interesting story.  I haven't heard the news yet. 

"drinkin' dark whiskey & telling white lies..." 

Now, that combo doesn't seem to bring out a whole lotta love...but it sure can be fun.

I see you officially entered MOG with a post.  You are no longer a MOG virgin, congrats. 
It sounds like this drama has quite an interesting and somber plot; I hope it has a happy ending.
Stay away from the dark whiskey and crossin' "yer heart"-that can only lead to trouble ha.
Looking forward to seeing what else you've got...

Cheers~
