Kevin Costner & Modern West
Untold Truths (CD)

B0012143-02

We know Kevin Costner as the Oscar-winning actor and director of such classic movies as 'Dances With Wolves,' 'Field of Dreams,‘ and 'The Bodyguard'. But we don’t really know him as a musician. However he was in a band called Roving Boy before he hit Hollywood and has now been writing for more than two decades.
Returning to a music stage in 2005, Costner got a feel for what he was missing and embarked on the journey that has led to ‘Untold Truths’. The dashing 53-year-old and five of his closest friends play rock-infused country under the name Kevin Costner and Modern West..
The sound on Untold Truths is roots-rock with elements of country. 'I grew up with Motown because I was born in Compton California, but every time I do a song it sounds like something in Oklahoma,' Costner says.
His style of music has been compared to John Mellencamp, Tom Petty and even Bruce Springsteen, Kevin Costner contributes to the song-writing on five of the tracks on the album.
