Movie action man STEVEN SEAGAL is honouring his mother's final wishes by releasing an album of songs he has written and recorded.

The actor and martial arts star has a blues background, and has performed with BB KING and CLARENCE 'GATEMOUTH' BROWN at low-key concerts, where his talents have impressed stalwarts.

But, to make sure his solo album, SONGS FROM THE CRYSTAL CAVE, isn't treated with disdain by critics, it was sent out without credits - and it's already receiving rave reviews in America.

He says, "I've written about 150 songs. My momma died two years ago, and before she did, she said, 'Son, you've got a lot of songs. Put them out. People like them.'"

Seagal worked with former WAILERS TYRONE DOWNIE and AL ANDERSON, LADY SAW and Indian singer KAVITA SUBRAMANIAM (corr) on the project, and even persuaded STEVIE WONDER to play harmonica on one track.

The album is already selling well in parts of Europe, but Seagal knows he'll struggle to make a dent in the US charts.

He adds, "As a Buddhist, we look at life literally as the ocean of suffering, not expecting anything to go particularly smoothly."

Yes, I would rather have one good cd than five good movies, because I to think that is where his heart is!

More good news! We seen to be seeing more and more articles about Steven's life, besides just his movies, popping up lately--and the majority of them are upbeat and positive, recognizing him as the well-rounded individual he is. I'm so glad to see him getting recognition and respect for his singing and songwriting, so near and dear to his heart. :)

Thanks for such a nice bit of news, Suzi. :)

I haven't heard it all, but snippets of it here and there...I think I'm just going to have to break down here pretty soon and buy it! I think he kind of sounds like a cross between Bono of U2 (only not so Irish!!) and Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar.

thath would be nice, or what would be if he made an album like:

Steven Seagal sings Christmas Songs.

I mean if there would be a videoclip with Steven as Santa singing Rudolph the red nosed reindeer... That would be awesome ;)

.... sorry im in a christmas mood.
