MUSIC NEWS- Kevin Costner & Modern West, yes KEVIN COSTNER (Swing Vote, Tin Cup, Field of Dreams, Waterworld, Postman), will release their debut album, Untold Truths, on November 11 via Universal records. Of course, Mr Costner is best known for his acting career, but he's really no stranger to the art of making music and songwriting. The band’s history goes back nearly 20 years when Kevin first met bandmate John Coinman in LA at an acting workshop. The two began playing and writing music together and soon after started a band called “Roving Boy.” As Kevin’s acting star began to rise, he couldn't give much time to the band. But, he and some of the band members continued behind-the-scenes playing, writing, and recording anytime they could throughout the years. A few years back, the music bug was too strong for Costner, so, lucky for us, he devoted more time to performing.
Costner recalls a gig back in August 2005 and remarks, “I remember looking out into the crowd, thinking ‘this just feels right’.” And with that, his passion continued to grow with the result of that passion being the debut album, Untold Truths. The album has 12 original tracks; all written or co-written by Kevin Costner & Modern West (Modern West is John Coinman, Blair Forward, Teddy Morgan, Larry Cobb and Park Chisolm). One track “Long Hot Night” is available for download wherever digital music is sold (give a listen, here- Windows Media or Quicktime). See below for album’s complete track listing. They plan a tour later for this year and well into early 2009 to support of the release. Untold Truths was produced by Teddy Morgan and John Coinman.
