Lewis plans to continue guiding Lost Highway down back roads. In September, his label will release Private Radio, a CD from actor-director Billy Bob Thornton ("I was a musician before I got into movies," he says). His CD features "dark story-songs," Thornton says, and two numbers are dedicated to his wife, Tomb Raider star Angelina Jolie. "They are songs that anyone can relate to," he says, "but there are a couple of lines that only she and I will get." He says a few tracks are "too country for country radio." Sounds as if he'll be right at home on Lost Highway's back 40.
