Love to sing blues

Rock star and actress Courtney Love can certainly break all grounds in music–literally. She is currently recording jazz and blues standards for the soundtrack to her new film, Hello Suckers, Hole’s official Web site reports. Having teamed up with friend Roddy Bottum of Imperial Teen, Love has already handpicked several songs and recorded demos for the album. “She’s handling the music very well,” Bottum says of Love to Rolling Stone magazine. “She’s really a great singer. She’s got that great, husky voice and it really works for this material,” he said. Love and Bottum have also had talks of writing songs for the soundtrack. Currently, Love is shooting 24 Hours in Vancouver and will resume work with her new band, Bastard, in July. She recently suffered a miscarriage during the filming of 24 Hours.
