Kevin Costner To Test Country Waters With Band, Modern West

It looks as if besides acting, Kevin Costner has a whole "Field Of Dreams" he wants to fulfill- and country music is one of those dreams. Costner will launch a new evolution in his career this November with the release of his first country music album. No... really.

While his musical aspirations may come as a bit of a surprise to some, Costner has been playing music with some of his Modern West band mates for nearly 20 years.

The 53-year-old has co-written six songs from the 12-track album, some of which will be available to country music radio this week. The album is set for release Nov. 11, and the band plans tour dates later this year through 2009.

When you look across Costner's acting career, there's been major hits (Dances With Wolves) and major disasters (Waterworld)- somehow I think this album will fall somewhere in the middle. Click here to hear some samples of the Modern West sound.
