Acteur et chanteur Country US né le 9
Mai 1961 à Wheeling (Virginie de l'Ouest).
As an actor John Corbett is best-known
for his roles on Northern Exposure and Sex & The City, two television shows
where he played rugged yet sensitive guys -- guys that seemed at home in the
outdoors, guys that were definitely guys, but they weren't overly macho; they
were strong and supportive. Given that background, it shouldn't come as a great
surprise that his eponymous debut album finds him singing rugged yet sensitive
country; it's music that you could imagine Aidan singing as he builds furniture
for Carrie on Sex & The City. But it's not so much that Corbett is capitalizing
on his onscreen persona, it's that his strengths as an actor are his strengths
as a musician: he comes across as a thoroughly likeable, normal guy, the kind of
man that women fall for, the kind of man other men would have a beer with. Those
charms translate as successfully on John Corbett as they do onscreen. Perhaps
Corbett doesn't have the most distinctive voice, but it's sincere and has just
the right amount of twang, and he sounds comfortable and assured, yet never
cocky. It fits the country music that he's singing, which is straight-ahead and
tuneful, relaxed and friendly. This surely isn't hardcore country, yet it
proudly puts dobros, harmonicas, and twangy Telecasters on display, which all
keep John Corbett far away from the realm of pop music, even when it has more
than its fair share of hooky, memorable tunes. But what makes this a winning
debut is that it feels natural and genuine, as if Corbett isn't attempting to
parlay his success as an actor into a music career, he's just simply making the
music he wants to make. Of course, that sense of naturalism made him appealing
as an actor and it makes him appealing as a singer, especially for those who
already are fans. But the best thing that can be said about John Corbett is that
this laid-back, rootsy record can be easily enjoyed by country fans who aren't
fans of Corbett the actor, or even by listeners who aren't even aware that he
is an actor, and that' s a very tricky thing for an actor launching a
singing career to pull off.
