I'm listening to Clint Eastwood's composition of the movie score of Gran Torino. He wrote the music and he sings it with Jamie Cullum.
Clint Eastwood (in my opinion) is a classy guy. I haven't heard any music he's composed that I haven't loved. I've been a fan of his movies for years. When I was young and watched westerns he starred in, was when I was first introduced to the talent that is known as Clint Eastwood. He's an "old guy" now..and I enjoy watching him as much today as ever. But what a pleasant surprise when I discovered he wrote the musical score to "Bridges of Madison County"! ...Doe Eyes. It's one of my all time favorite musical scores. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic (I suspect I am). But I can't help have a healthy respect for the talent of Clint Eastwood who acts, directs, and composes music.

(...wish I knew how to put a music clip of Gran Torino on my blog.)
