Jeff Bridges: The Dude Sings

I'm just going to come right out and say I've sort of had a thing for Jeff Bridges since I was a kid, and I'm not really sure why.  I don't remember seeing any of his movies when I was a kid.  I'm pretty sure the first movie of his I ever saw was The Big Lebowski.

I still remember the first time I saw The Big Lebowski (1998).  I had seen the trailer for it on TV and thought it looked funny.  For some reason I found the scene where Jeff Bridges' character, The Dude, crashes his car into a mailbox while Credence Clearwater Revival is blasting from his stereo hilarious.  I also found his bowling buddies (among them Jeff Goodman in a fabulous performance) reminiscent of guys I had gone to school with.  I'll put it this way:  If my guy friends hadn't gotten their act together I think some of them would be sitting in a bowling alley today discussing conspiracy theories. What does this have to do with music? Ummm, nothing...let's move on to music and Jeff Bridges actually singing....!
