AceShowbiz - Having a movie role as a musician has made a new career choice for actor Joaquin Phoenix as he now plans to make an album. Billboard.com said that the actor could release an album working with one of the members of Charlatans Tim Burgess.
Burgess revealed that after playing the role of legendary musician Johnny Cash in the 2005 movie "Walk The Line", Joaquin, who got himself to learn how to play guitar on the movie, found a passion to make music. "Once he learnt guitar he found that he had quite a lot of demons inside himself that he wanted to expel through music," Burgess said.
Moreover, the charlatans frontman also said that he and Joaquin have even recorded and mixed the songs for the record assisted with his band's manager Alan McGee. He claims that the tracks they have been working were great saying, "All the tracks that me and Alan worked with him on were brilliant."
But unfortunately, it is still not clear whether the actor would release his record. Joaquin seems still not satisfied with the songs as he keeps on fixing and re-doing it. "But I think he just keep scrapping everything or re-doing everything," Burgess explained. "I'm sad to say that I think it's one of those records that may never come out, to be honest with you."
At the moment both Burgess and Alan are still trying to convince the Hollywood actor to put out the record. "It's an on-going thing. I'm trying to get Alan to force him to put it out at the moment, but I don't know whether it will," Burgess said.
