T-Bone Christmas

Lucas and I recently noticed that some of our gifts for each other had an underlining connection. It turns out that the music on three of our favourite gifts - Across the Universe Soundtrack, O Brother Where Art Thou DVD & Robert Plant and Alison Kruass CD - was all somehow tied to T-Bone Burnett. This prompted me to do a little research on T-Bone and find out what else he's done and where he comes from and what other cool things he has had his part in. What I found is super impressive.



T-Bone Burnett was a musician himself during the 70s and early 80s. In the late 80s until now he's been making a name for himself as a music producer and film scorer. He's had his hand in such famous musical films as 'Walk the Line' and has produced songs for films such as 'Cold Mountain' and 'All the King's Men'. His work has been recognised by various award giving academies including being nominated for the Anthony Asquith Award for Achievement in Film Music by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).





The music in all the gifts Lucas and I gave to each other this Christmas is amazing and it all has something to do with this man. I can say for certain that I'll be looking for his name in the future. If any of you are interested I highly suggest checking out some of T-Bone's music and for sure check out the Across the Universe Soundtrack, O Brother Where Art Thou film, and the new Robert Plant and Alison Krauss collaboration.
