One of the most celebrated actors of his time, Harry Dean Stanton spent decades playing small character roles before he became an unlikely star in the 1980s with his craggy, understated naturalism informing roles in cult favorites like Repo Man, Paris, Texas, and Wild at Heart, as well as blockbusters such as Alien, Pretty in Pink, and The Green Mile. Stanton was also a musician and vocalist, and his life in music was as idiosyncratic as his history in acting. Disinterested in generic labels, Stanton embraced music that spoke to his heart regardless of style, and he sang folk, blues, country, rock & roll, and gospel with an equal measure of conviction and understated passion. He wasn't prolific as a recording artist, but the soundtrack to the 2014 documentary Partly Fiction features several home-recorded performances, while live and studio recordings with his band the Cheap Dates can be heard on the album October 1993.
