Phoenix was prompted to record an album after learning to play the guitar for his role as Johnny Cash in the 2005 film Walk The Line.

Los Angeles-based Burgess said: "Once he learned guitar, he found that he had quite a lot of demons inside himself that he wanted to expel through music."

The indie rocker added that he had been mixing the Lp with his manager Alan McGee, the former head of label Creation Records, but Phoenix's . . .

Producer Rick Rubin made himself the go-to guy for late-career musical reinvention with the 1994 Johnny Cash album American Recordings, a spare, flash-free masterpiece that put Cash and his music front and center. Rubin never found another subject as rich as Cash, probably because there aren't any. But Neil Diamond's stark, Rubin-produced 2005 album 12 Songs, while not an American Recordings-caliber classic, was even more revealing than Cash's work with Rubin. Where Cash was a neglected master whose classic work had never been forgotten, Diamond's run of hit singles had been overshadowed by show-biz gaudiness and dreck like "Heartlight." With 12 Songs, Diamond delivered a defiant, yet surprisingly mellow set dedicated to the theme of not going gently into that good night. Home Before Dark provides more of the same.

Walk the Line star Ginnifer Goodwin struggled with love making scenes in new film He's Just Not That Into You because her co-star is a longtime friend.

The actress was paired with Drew Barrymore's boyfriend Justin Long in the awkward scenes, and admits their friendship kept getting in the way of the on-screen chemistry.

Goodwin tells People.com, "Justin Long and I have been friends for going on eight years and when it came time for us to be intimate in the film, I think our bodies both rebelled.

"I mean, I've had Thanksgiving with his mom.

"We both had stomach growls... We couldn't get it done!"

Actor Joaquin Phoenix is planning to launch a music career after uncovering his singing talent playing Johnny Cash in biopic Walk The Line.

The 33-year-old star won a Grammy Award for his contribution to the 2005 film's soundtrack - and is now working on recording an album with U.K.-based rock band The Charlatans.

And The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess reveals the Oscar-nominee is a perfectionist, "Once he learned to play guitar he found that he had quite a lot of demons inside himself that he wanted to expel through music.

"All the tracks that me and (Charlatan's manager) Alan (McGee) worked with him on were brilliant. But he just kept scrapping everything or re-doing everything. I'm trying to get Alan to force him to put it out."

A release date has yet to be scheduled for the album.
