In the 1990 rock parody Cry-Baby, Johnny Depp played a rebellious rocker named Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker. Walker's singing voice, however, was played by rockabilly revivalist James Intveld, who, at the time, was still working to make his name in the business. Intveld's real break came in 1996, when he was invited to contribute a track on a disc that celebrated the 20th anniversary of a Los Angeles-based indie label. His tune, "Barely Hangin' On," caught the interest of the company's executives, who invited him to cut a full disc. Intveld is currently on the road promoting his latest release, Have Faith. Though also in demand as a multi-instrumentalist studio musician, he still finds time to dabble in acting and directing — he recently appeared in a George Strait music video and directed the 2005 film Miracle at Sage Creek.
