Joaquin Phoenix Makes More Music
9-May-2008
Written by: Malia Brown
Two time Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix is recording an album.
Joaquin Phoenix, who learned to sing and play guitar for his portrayal of Johnny Cash in 2005’s Walk the Line, is cutting an album.
According to People, Phoenix is working with the U.K. band, The Charlatans, on some music.
"Once he learned guitar he found that he had quite a lot of demons inside himself that he wanted to expel through music," the band's frontman, Tim Burgess, told Billboard.
"All the tracks that me and [Charlatans manager] Alan [McGee] worked with him on were brilliant," said Burgess. "But he just kept scrapping everything or re-doing everything."
So, will Phoenix’s demons get the better of his recording career?
"I'm trying to get Alan to force him to put it out," Burgess said.
While the album does not have a release date, Phoenix has proven in the past that much of what he touches turns to gold, and hopefully, someday, platinum.
