It kinda seems like a joke. What is Jeff Bridges doing making recordings that are reportedly designed to help you relax and get some sleep?
Well if you think the concept is funny wait till you hear the thing. I mean it's a little bit hard to journey to the land of nod when you're preoccupied with laughing your ass off.
First off, take the cover. It's kind of cool actually, but it's not an image that is going to make me feel relaxed and ready for sleep. In fact that image appearing in my mind while I am asleep is going to cause me to wake up screaming and possibly wet myself.
Secondly what is on the recording itself... some of it is kinda relaxing and Jeff's voice does kind of put you into a certain kind of amiable state of mind, but there is other stuff that isn't particularly that soothing, or even mellow in the slightest. There is ambient music, soundscapes, and Jeff Bridges talking and sometimes humming. You get Jeff talking to kids about dreams, you get Jeff telling stories, You get Jeff taking you on a walking trip in a canyon (funny but it is actually relaxing in a way) and other kinds of assorted stuff. The affirmations are great....You smell good.....you order well in restaurants....you are good at guessing when the traffic light will turn green, stuff like that.
I would tell you that if you want to listen to jeff Bridges you might do well to listen to some of his country music. He's not bad at all and he does a lot better job and channeling the spirit of Waylon Jennings than say Blank Shelton. If you do get this the proceeds are said to go to NO KID HUNGRY so there is a good cause behind it.
It is weird, but whether it's a good kind a weird or not is totally your call. After all, I'm still awake.
