"Bad" Blake is a down-on-his-luck Country singer who nowadays travels on the road to perform one night stands wherever he can get them. His protegee, Tommy Sweet, is now a bigger star than him, and that gets on his nerves. One day, reporter Jean Craddock comes along and asks for an interview. He complies, and the ensuing relationship with her and her son Buddy sets up the road to get his life back on track. The film became a sleeper success, in great part because of buzz for Creator/JeffBridges' performance, and earned him the [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]] for Best Actor. The film also won the Oscar for Best Original Song ("The Weary Kind"), and MaggieGyllenhaal was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
