TRACK RECORD

There’s so much to listen to and learn from in Cooder’s back catalogue, but Paris Texas (1985) and Feelin Bad Blues (1986) show the emotive, instrumental side of Cooder’s style while Into The Purple Valley (1972), Chicken Skin Music (1976) and Boomer’s Story (1972) show the more rhythmic, upbeat side of his slide work. Of course the movie Crossroads is always worth a second look.
