Free Music Review: A beautiful record from THE beautiful mind
Hit: 5 Stars

When this album came out, I was ecstatic. More than ecstatic. After hearing and loving "Island Avenue" from the Hollywood Goes Wild cd, I couldn't wait for a full length album. Now that it has been out for well over four months, all I can say is that this album just gets better and better with each spinning. I listen to it, in it's entirety AT LEAST once a day and have since the day it was released. No, that's not an exaggeration. I just can't get over how good it is. As many of you know, most of the time when an actor records an album, it's utter [...junk]. Not the case here.

"Private Radio", in my mind, was one of the best albums of 2001, and Billy Bob's really gonna have to sweat on his next one. With his unpredictability, I'm kind of expecting something TOTALLY different on his next record. Which direction he takes, I have no idea, but I'm expecting greatness.

This album covers just about every human emotion possible (happiness, sadness, insanity, love, lust, regret, sorrow) and gets it all right. There is not one single misfire here and each song is completely different from the last. There is a slight country vibe here but this is hardly country. In fact, if I had to call it anything, I'd call it "Billy Bob Music".
Whether it be the opening "Dark and Mad", the sweetness of "Angelina", the fun and rollicking "Smoking in Bed", or the brilliant cover of "He Was a Friend of Mine", there really is something for everyone. Just please don't make the mistake of prejudging this album because Billy happens to be an actor.
That would be a big mistake. You would be seriously depraving yourself.

I reccommend this eclectic album to anyone with an open mind and I think it's sad that a lot of people won't get what's on here. Oh well, to each their own I guess. If you like Tom Waits, this is definitely your album, although I'd reccommend it to people who aren't fans of Tom Waits. Just give Billy Bob a chance and let the music speak for itself. That's all I gotta say. Enjoy.
