Actor Joaquin Phoenix who starred in movies such as “Walk the Line”, “Ladder 49”, “We Own the Night” etc. is about to begin work on his debut solo album. Actually, Joaquin already did come out with an album which is the “Walk the Line” soundtrack which he sang and played the guitar on all the songs on, but Joaquin wants to write his own songs. Before “Walk the Line”, Joaquin just started lessons and training with singing and playing the guitar for his role as Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line”. Joaquin’s writing partners for the album say that this album could take forever to release ’cause Joaquin is pretty picky with the songs trying to make sure that this album will be a real good one.

Joaquin wanting to put out an album didn’t come as a surprise to me. Since he just became a musician for “Walk the Line”, it is no secret he would become a musician full time.

I thought he sounded pretty good for “Walk the Line” and will be looking forward to his album.
