KEVIN COSTNER'S A COUNTRY SINGER?

WHEN the daily delivery of review CDs arrived today I expected the usual collection of electro/indie/rock with the odd Sugababes/Jonas Brothers disc thrown in.
Instead who should crawl out of the envelope but none other than Robin Hood Prince of Thieves himself - Kevin Costner.
Apparently I'm the last to hear old Bodyguard plays in a band - Kevin Costner & Modern West - who are about to release second album Turn It On (May 3).
Single Let Me Be The One is a simple duet with Nashville songwriter Sara Beck (see below).



But a deeper YouTube search reveals Backyard - a tribute to the Nascar scene from 2008 - and much more enjoyable vision of Costner at his country finest (see clip below).



FYI The Kevin Costner Appreciation Society on Facebook's got seven members. However I seem to remember the Ellesmere Port branch being particularly full - they'd pack out the nearby cinema to share his screenings.
I'm pretty sure Costner even dropped in to see them once - possibly the Port's most famous ever visitor. I've got vague recollections of seeing the pics that prove it too.
