Ed Harris Will Never Leave My Heart

Entertainment Weekly‘s blog has an interview with Ed Harris and a stream of his song “You’ll Never Leave My Heart,” which will run over the closing credits of the Harris-directed, Viggo Mortensen-starring oater Appaloosa. I like Westerns, and I like Ed Harris. And as a future bald man (it’s going quick, people!), I’m hoping that my baldness trends more towards that sported by the virile Ed Harris than the type atop the head of the homunculus Wallace Shawn.

“Heart,” which Harris co-wrote with Jeff Beal, is Harris’ first foray into incorporating singing into his acting, and his first-timer status shows a bit; I didn’t notice any major pitch problems, but his voice isn’t exactly brimming with character. He could have turned up the Gruff-o-meter about 20% and really taken it to the next level. The song itself kind of reminds me of the annoying Firefly theme song, which is not a good thing. I’ll give the man a pass, though, because it is his first time out… and doing so will probably give me good bald-guy karma.
