Why Matthew McConaughey Trademarked His Famous “Alright, Alright, Alright” Phrase
Matthew McConaughey’s singing skills may rival some of the pros.
Indeed, the 56-year-old has released a new bluegrass track “Quill” as a part of the soundtrack for his upcoming film The Rivals of Amziah King, where he plays the unofficial mayor of an Oklahoma town who often jams with his buddies.
The Sing actor had some assistance in this musical effort, with Ben Hardesty as well as Miranda Zickler, Angelina LookingGlass and Andrea Pister appearing on the tune.
But the new film—which releases Aug. 14—isn’t all about fun jam sessions, as beekeeper Amziah King (McConaughey) must navigate sabotaging rivals of his honey business alongside his estranged foster daughter Kateri (LookingGlass).
And this is a significant role for McConaughey, as it was one of his first movies in over six years. Speaking about why he took on the role, the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star shared that the project had a lot of heart.
