Bridges, Jeff – Slow Magic 1977 – 1978

Music is the weed that keeps popping out of the concrete in my life. It just seems to want to come out. Jeff Bridges

Culled from a single decaying cassette tape labeled July 1978, these recordings are a window into the secret musical life of the Dude. Even after becoming one of Hollywoods biggest stars, Bridges spent all his free time jamming and recording with a trusted circle of musicians composed of childhood friends, artists, and assorted L.A. oddballs.

Imagine The Band playing at CBGB with The Exploding Plastic Inevitable. Or Arthur Russell and the Talking Heads collaborating on a suite of mutant disco. Though Bridges and his friends were brought up around the movie industry, they decided to create their own private musical universe, where they could be as weird as they wanted.
