In Santa Fe, he meets Jean Craddock, a young journalist after a story, divorced and with a four-year-old son, Buddy. The film opens with his arrival at a bowling alley for a show. He is mostly on the road performing, staying in cheap motels, and travelling alone in his 1977 Chevrolet Suburban. He has a son, aged 28, with whom he has not had contact in 24 years. Having a history of failed marriages (four that he admits to, although a reference is made to a fifth he does not discuss), Blake is without a family. He now earns a modest living by performing in small-town bars across the southwestern United States. Otis "Bad" Blake is a 57-year-old alcoholic singer-songwriter who was once a country music star. The film met with acclaim and was nominated for three Academy Awards at the 82nd Academy Awards, winning two: Best Actor for Bridges and Best Original Song for " The Weary Kind" written by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett. The film ends with a dedication to musician Stephen Bruton, who died the same year the film was made.
