The Oscar winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow turns into a country music beauty in her just released video for "Country Strong," a soundtrack for the upcoming movie of the same title. For her new movie, the actress is playing an emotionally unstable and alcoholic country star as she is taken out of rehab by her manager husband (Tim McGraw) and kicks off a career resurrection tour. To study for the role, she spent four months getting to know the country scene in Nashville, Tennessee. Paltrow also had to learn how to play the guitar from scratch. "I mean, it's embarrassing to be playing in front of your husband," she says, "especially when he's in one of the world's most successful bands."
Proving that she's more than just an amazing actress, Paltrow shows her vocal chops in her new single "Country Strong." While many actors and actress may seem out of place when it comes to signing for a role, this isn't Paltrow's first time at this type of gig. The actress was also part of the movie "Duets," which, although the movie flopped, did show that the actress had some singing talent. The previous experience of singing on screen mixed with tips from her Coldplay leading husband, Chris Martin. She credits her husband for helping her prepare for the role. "He was so helpful, so sweet, and encouraging."
It's one of those music videos that are thoroughly padded out with footage from the movie trailer, Paltrow turns up in several shots, and straps on a guitar and shows off her musical side in the video for "Country Strong," which is shown the 38-year-old actress' native stomping grounds, she slips right into the country vibe, jamming with her ready-for-CMT backing band in a minimal warehouse setting, while pieces from the movie are sprinkled in the gaps. Paltrow sounds good as a country singer, even if her voice isn't strong enough to power through the entire track on the chorus, a male vocalist backs her for some added strength. Still, this shows that if the whole acting thing ever goes South, she's got a shot a music stardom. The performance just proves that Paltrow's definitely got what it takes if she ever decides she wants to hang out more with the nice folks of Nashville.
It has been more than a decade since Paltrow won her Oscar nod for her tun in "Shakespeare in Love." Will she finally get another with "Country Song," after all Reese Witherspoon sang-and-danced her win as June Carter Cash in "Walk The Line?" "Country Song" offers more opportunities for Paltrow to showcase her acting ability and musical ability, which she will also show in her guesting spot in "Glees Season 2" as compared to the "Iron Man" franchise where she previously appeared. The theme songs "Country Strong" compilation is due to arrive in the U.S. market on October 26 with Leighton Meester, Garrett Hedlund, Trace Adkins and Faith Hill on the list. The movie itself will be out in limited release on December 22, before going nationwide on January 7. The song itself is currently on the radio.
