Ryan Bingham wrote “The Weary Kind,” the Academy Award-winning theme to Boozy Crazy Heart, starring Jeff ‘The Dude’ Bridges. He has a rowdy new album, his third for Lost Highway, called Tomorrowland, produced by the unsinkable T-Bone Burnett, who partnered with him on the Crazy Heart soundtrack. He’s a little bit like Townes Van Zandt without all the drugs and insanity. Oh, he’s also, like, really handsome, too, if you are into that kind of thing. Bingham’s tour in support of Tomorrowland stops at Union Transfer on Friday.
