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.

"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.
