Radar: Jeff Bridges

Slow Magic, 1977-1978, is a collection of never-before-heard songs that Jeff Bridges wrote and recorded with a band of his oldest and closest friends. Culled from a single decaying cassette tape labeled “July 1978,” these recordings are a window into the musical life of one of our greatest living actors who holds music as dear as all the art forms he participates in. The raw & organic tone of these recordings evokes the breeze and spirit of 1970’s Venice & Malibu beach where they were recorded.

I talked with Jeff about these sessions, his process as an artist and how the multitude of mediums he participates in all blend together.

Slow Magic is out on Record Store day on April 12th. You can go to jeffbridges.com to check out all of Jeff’s work including his amazing photography, drawings and the fascinating Life is but a Dream series.
