Private Radio is the debut album by American actor and singer-songwriter Billy Bob Thornton.

His first foray into recorded music following a successful movie career up to the time of the album's release, it was a traditional country music album released by Universal Records in September 2001.

All tracks composed by Billy Bob Thornton and Marty Stuart; except where indicated with: A review at All Music stated, "Still, this is a pretty good record all the same, better than most Americana records of the late '90s, thanks in no small part to a terrific stretch of songs mid-record ("Walk of Shame," the rollicking "Smoking in Bed," "Your Blue Shadow," and "That Mountain"), and a good cover of Hank Williams' "Lost Highway.

Appropriately, “Lost Highway” (a song Hank Williams made famous) is the record’s last track.

It’s time for the storyteller to leave the Starlight Lounge and hit the road again, in search of new people and experiences for new songs.
