retro video: Ry Cooder

Haven't seen this film is maybe 20 years.
Robby Müller was the DP, which meant nothing to me at the time, but he's worked on a bunch of great films, and two of the most gorgeous things ever shot, Down by Law & Dead Man for Jim Jarmusch.

I love this soundtrack passionately, it goes on the shelf with a couple of other idiosyncratic soundtracks by guitarists- Neil Young's work for the aforementioned Dead Man and Mark Knopfler on Local Hero, right next to the soundtrack for The Hot Spot, which brought together Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker, Taj Mahal and Roy Rogers.

i really need to dig my cd's out of the garage...
