Jeff Bridges - Slow Magic 1977-1978 LP

"Music is the weed that keeps popping out of the concrete in my life. It just seems to want to come out." -Jeff Bridges 

Culled from a single decaying cassette tape labeled "July 1978," these recordings are a window into the secret musical life of the Dude. Before and after becoming one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Bridges spent all his free time jamming and recording with a trusted circle of musicians composed of childhood friends, artists, and assorted L.A. oddballs.

Though Bridges and his friends were brought up around the movie industry, they decided to create their own private musical universe, where they could be as weird as they wanted. Their music opens a portal to a hidden world of outlandish creativity and camaraderie in 1970s Los Angeles. It's the missing piece of his musical evolution, revealed here for the first time in all its joyful abandon.

All previously unreleased recordings. Featuring Burgess Meredith (Rocky, Batman), members of Oingo Boingo, and assorted characters from the West Los Angeles art and music underground.

Transparent Blue Vinyl LP Available Exclusively For Record Store Day 2025. Extensive booklet including liner notes by Sam Sweet, new interviews with Jeff Bridges, and never-before-seen archival photos.
