The Story
A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.
Seldom has any artist captured that ineffable âhigh, lonesome soundâ quite as beautifully as Ry Cooder did on his landmark soundtrack to Wim Wendersâ film Paris, Texas. Not quite blues, not quite bluegrass, not quite ambient, Cooderâs haunting, evocative score mirrors the existential journey of Harry Dean Stantonâs Travis Henderson as he wanders through the empty Texas prairie landscape in pursuit of his irretrievable past. With the able help of multi-instrumentalists David Lindley and Jim Dickinson, Cooder crafts a soundscape (much of it based on Blind Willie Johnsonâs âDark Was the Night, Cold Was the Groundâ) that is profoundly sad yet leavened with bits of humor and whimsy.
