About the Album: Raven presents two of RY COODER'S most acclaimed film soundtracks - The Border and Alamo Bay - on CD for the first time. After working and recording in the 1960s with Taj Mahal, Captain Beefheart's Magic Band and the Rolling Stones, guitarist Ry Cooder went on to craft a series of "patchwork of Americana" albums including such seminal and stirring screen soundtracks as The Long Riders, Paris Texas and Crossroads. Displaying a voracious eclecticism that eventually took him light-years from his traditionalist roots, and the kind of slide-guitar playing that could make a lizard crawl down a wall, Cooder turned out a series of dazzling 1980s film soundtracks - including The Border (1982) and Alamo Bay (1985). These powerful works blend everything from Tex-Mex to Turkish instrumentation. They are breathtakingly beautiful sound-scapes of beguiling, ethereal music. Includes performances by John Hiatt, members of Los Lobos, Freddy Fender, David Lindley, Van Dyke Parks, Flaco Jimenez, Sam the Sham and Jim Dickinson. Richly diverse, adventurous and textured music from a stunning musician and Grammy winning soundtrack master. A beguiling blend of Tex-Mex, boppin' blues, earthy rock and country with moody, evocative guitar work. Detailed historical liner notes and superb quality audio
