Ry Cooder – Paris, Texas

Originally released in 1985, this soundtrack by Ry Cooder accompanies Wim Wenders' acclaimed film, creating a deeply moving and cinematic soundscape.

Through a minimalist approach shaped by slide guitar, traditional blues influences and a desolate, melancholic atmosphere, Cooder evokes feelings of loneliness, nostalgia and introspection. Drawing inspiration from blues musicians such as Blind Willie Johnson, the album stands out for its expressive guitar work and its remarkable ability to tell stories without words. Highlights include “Paris, Texas”, with its iconic guitar melody, “Canción Mixteca”, “Brothers” and “Nothing Out There”. A timeless work in which music and imagery come together in an experience of rare beauty. This special 40th anniversary edition presents the album as a red vinyl reissue.
