That's right. The next time you see P147(Billy Bob Thornton) he'll be holding a guitar and a microphone.

The Sling Blade star/director loves country music and soon will have his own album. "I play with a lot of friends of mine and stuff, just messing around, and write a song every now and then," Billy said. He doesn't want his movie career and his new music one to be entangled.

"I really love music. And really care about it. I hope everybody listens to it in thr right spirit. I mean, I wrote the songs right out of my gut." Watch the summer tour schedule too. Billy is hitting the road to promote his first album this summer.
