Turn It On

2010 sophomore album from actor, director, singer and songwriter Kevin Costner and his band Modern West. Prior to achieving major success as a film actor, Costner grew up with a deep love for and interest in music. Modern West began after Kevin's wife, Christine, encouraged him to reconnect with his love of music. The album is a mix of true Roots Rock ála Bruce Springsteen and traditional Country music and radiates a fresh charm. Kevin is no longer just a Hollywood icon but a sympathetic musician full of passion and feeling. Turn It on does not sound like a movie star's vanity project. It's contemporary Americana set against a Western backdrop. He sings about freight trains, dusty avenues and broken dreams in a voice that's truly pleasant... and he commands the stage with the same understated sex appeal he has on the big screen.
