Backbeat Troubadours
Some creative partnerships are born in a studio or on a set— but the music between Billy Bob Thornton and Mark Collie has been building for decades. The two first connected long before their on-screen chemistry in the wee hours of the morning at the Sunset Marquis over 25 years ago. Behind the scenes, they were already doing what they do best: writing songs and making noise.
Now the world gets to hear it. Backbeat Troubadours is the official arrival of a creative friendship that's been quietly producing music for years, with a catalog of original country alternative songs ready to be unleashed. Signed to Big Machine Records, the duo made their debut with "True American Racer (500 Miles)" — a high-octane anthem featuring Slash on guitars, written by Collie, Thornton, and Big Machine founder Scott Borchetta, and featured in the FS1 documentary Bobby Rahal: True American Racer.
