5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised, November 27, 2008

I bought this CD, just because. I didn't expect too much from it. Believe me; Amazon's 30-second sound bites don't deliver what this CD truly holds for its listeners. I have Costner's other CD (Roving Boy), and it was all right, pleasant enough, but not great. Untold truths is a huge departure from Roving Boy. Costner sounds good. Good arrangements. Good Lyrics. Nice instrumentation. A little bit country. A little bit rock and roll. I believe this CD will satisfy those who enjoy today's modern country sound, as well as those who love music in general. Very interesting CD that I will play a quite a lot. A big thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Country CD, November 13, 2008

I know what most people think when they hear an actor becoming a singer. What the hell?? If they are acting, and you've HEARD them sing before, i.e. Wayne Brady, then it's no surprise on what they sound like. But if it's Kevin Costner, all we've heard him do is pretty much act. But with Modern West, comes Kevin Costner. His voice...the only person I can compare it with is Joe Cocker's. Joe's voice is raspy and nothing like it. Kevin Costner's the same way. Some might hate this CD, and some may like it. Just give Kevin's voice a shot. The music is great. And I hardly love country music. And seriously, with most of Kevin Costner's movies, this music can find places in those movies. Great cd!

First, need to point out that I am a big Costner fan. Love his movies and frankly, I think he's very underrated as an actor. But, I'm here to talk about his music... WOW! I'm a big fan of the country/rock sound and thats what I think you get with this disc. "Five Minutes From America" and "Long Hot Night" are excellent. But, my favorite song on the disc is "Down in Nogales" which could easily have been a Chris Isaak cover (not exactly country or rock), but wow, what a fantastic song! Simply put, Costner's voice and lyrics are very, very good. If you like John Hiatt, John Mellencamp, or Chris Isaak - I think you'll like this CD.
