Jeff Bridges on Lost Tapes, Iconic Roles, and the Long, Strange Jam of Life

A cassette from 1977. A decades-long jam session. A surprise Record Store Day release. Leave it to Jeff Bridges to casually drop one of the year’s coolest archival albums with Slow Magic 1977–1978, recorded with his friends and forgotten until now. He chats with Kyle Meredith about the magic of imperfection, the Wednesday night jams that forbade actual songs, and why it took some coaxing to bring this to the surface. We also go deep on his love of poetry, his accidental collaboration with Burgess Meredith (no relation to Kyle), and his dream of writing a King Kong sequel involving aliens and oil blood. Seriously. He even drops gems about Dylan, Crazy Heart, The Old Man, Tron, and that upcoming Terry Gilliam movie.Listen to Jeff Bridges t chat about all this and more or watch it on Youtube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
