Ryan Bingham and The Dead Horses' new album Junky Star follows-up the Lost Highway releases Mescalito (2007) and Roadhouse Sun (2009). Bingham recently won the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Original Song for “The Weary Kind (Theme From Crazy Heart),” which he co-wrote with multi-Grammy Award-winning producer/musician T-Bone Burnett. The collaboration between Bingham and Burnett developed into a solid artistic relationship during the Crazy Heart recordings, and as a result, Burnett signed on to produce Junky Star.
All 12 songs on Junky Star were written by Bingham and performed by his longtime band The Dead Horses, featuring Matt Smith (drums), Elijah Ford (bass) and Corby Shaub (guitar/mandolin). Burnett created a recording environment that perfectly complimented the themes and textures of Bingham’s reflective songwriting and gravelly voice. The tracks on Junky Star range from narratives with vivid imagery (“The Poet”), to introspective confessionals (“Hallelujah”), to bluesy roadhouse stomps (“Direction Of The Wind”) to Sticky Fingers-era Stones (“Depression”) and the compelling folk balladry of “Yesterday’s Blues” and “Lay My Head On The Rail.”
