LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett swept the
awards season earlier this year, winning an Academy Award and a
Golden Globe for their original song "The Weary Kind" from the drama
"Crazy Heart." And if there's one superstition even musicians in
Hollywood adhere to, it's this: Don't mess with a winning streak.
So it's no surprise that Burnett reteamed with Bingham and his band,
the Dead Horses, to produce "Junky Star." The August 31 release is
Bingham's third album on Lost Highway, following 2009's "Roadhouse
Sun" and 2007's "Mescalito."
"T-Bone really brings the best out of you," Bingham says. "We
recorded in the same studio (as for "Weary"), with the same engineers,
same vibe. When I first asked him if he would be interested in
producing, he said, 'Yeah, man, we're already in here. Let's keep going.'"
