MARK COLLIE’S ‘BOOK OF MY BLUES’ AVAILABLE NOW!

Country music trailblazer and actor Mark Collie has released his latest album, Book of My Blues, available everywhere via BFD/Audium Nashville/Orchard in association with Harvest Entertainment, Creator Label Co., and Collie Kuhl Music.

Book of My Blues was derived from the graphic novel Rockabilly Hitman that Collie is creating in collaboration with renowned film director Jonathan Hensleigh (The Punisher, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Armageddon, and Ice Road starring Liam Neeson). The novel depicts the exploits of rockabilly singer Jesse Wayne Hardin and his adventures on the road, exploring emotional themes — love, lust, betrayal, addiction, recovery, damnation, and redemption.

Hensleigh co-wrote the track “The Son of a Gun” alongside Collie, played violin on the recording, and directed the album’s music videos.

Respected country music historian/journalist, Robert K. Oermann of MusicRow hails “The Son of a Gun” as “dramatic and forceful.” While on “Born Ready,” he writes, “That Waylon/outlaw beat gets me every time. And it fits this renegade/rebel song perfectly. Welcome back, buddy. We’ve missed ya.”

Wide Open Country premiered the upbeat “A Little Every Day,” describing the track as a “message to a weary world” and a “call for love and understanding.”

Co-written by Collie and longtime friend and renowned actor Billy Bob Thornton, the official music video for the title track “Book of My Blues” was featured by American Songwriter, noting the concept album in its entirety as a “thorough Outlaw entrance,” applauding that Collie has “carefully crafted a legacy for those who follow him to adhere to.” Watch the video here.

“Mark Collie is back!” raves Thornton. “Better than ever, if that’s possible. What a record he’s made for us, both musically and lyrically. Classic Collie. I’m proud to be just a small part of it.”
