Search: Houston In Two Seconds

Guitar players will certainly admire Ry Cooder's exquisite slide playing in this album. The most interesting track is the remake of Blind Willie Johnson's 'Dark Was The Night'. Buy this album!

Paris Texas: Original Soundtrack

Release Date October 01, 1999

Is this, I wonder, the greatest filmscore ever made? Well, if it isn't, it must come close.

It is impossible to imagine Wim Wenders' film without the sparse, haunting, melancholy wail of Ry Cooder's guitar, the soundtrack being an integral part of the action (if the film can really be considered to have much in the way of action).

Music By Ry Cooder

Search: Houston In Two Seconds
by: Ry Cooder

Release Date June 19, 1995
I was always on the lookout for a definitive Ry Cooder Album - one that captures the essence of his style. This record is just that. Great production, evocative, it takes you from the everglades to downtown New Orleans whilst passing through Texas on the way. A beautiful journey that has to be experienced in a particular mood. It is, in short, the perfect complement to Bop till you drop. Some of the songs are a little indulgent but so is a bottle of fine red wine. A must for anyone into slide guitar and the possibilities.
