Crazy Heart star Robert Duvall shares some country favorites with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino in this exclusive interview

A Taste:

Merle Haggard, Hank Williams

Robert Duvall knows what truly makes a person “country.”

“It’s something in the blood,” the legendary actor says with a smile. “It usually comes from the rural areas, although people in the city can do it. Hank Snow was one of the great country singers, and he’s from Nova Scotia [Laughs].”

It doesn’t really matter where you’re from, but rather what you’ve got inside you. That’s the message of Crazy Heart. In the film, Jeff Bridges plays Bad Blake a country performer reaching the end of his career’s road. From battling alcoholism to finding love, the film examines Bad’s redemption in a poignant and powerful fashion—Duvall plays Bad’s bartendin’ best buddy like only he can.

Since music is such a crucial part of the film, and Duvall knows country, he shared some favorites with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino in this exclusive interview.

Vince Vaughn of Couples Retreat talks to ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino about what’s on his playlist…

A Taste:

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens

Vince Vaughn knows good tunes.

In fact, he’s a veritable music encyclopedia, spouting off the historical origins of everyone from Led Zeppelin to Merle Haggard at the drop of a hat. Vaughn’s love for music manifests in a different fashion in Couples Retreat though.

In one key scene, he lays it all on the line during an incendiary Guitar Hero showdown during Billy Squier’s “Lonely is the Night.” There’s nothing more epic, or hilarious, than that.

Vaughn shared some playlist selections with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino in this exclusive feature.
