Great, but no Cooder/Vai Duel!

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

The service on this item was fine. The rating is for some quibbles with content.
A couple of the later soundtracks are just not as strong as some of the earlier work, but that often happens. The packaging is sparse but exemplary (a retrospective without a booklet? Really?). I do adore the mini-LP format, and these are very well done, even if one literally needs a magnifying glass to read the liner notes on a couple of them.
My biggest complaint is that these are pretty much straight reissues, with no significant changes from the original LPs or CDs. I was so hoping they'd see fit to include the Steve Vai/ Cooder guitar duel from Crossroads, but no such luck!
overall, well worth the price, but that omission really chafes.

Soundtracks (7CD Box) ~ Ry Cooder (Warner/Rhino)

A very tempting collection of all the seven soundtracks albums issued on, or through, Warner Bros. where the music was produced (and played) by Ry Cooder.

I already had CD versions of three of these soundtracks and rated them all very highly so the question for me was is this box worth buying for the four soundtracks I did not have and had not heard.

Based on one listen I'm certain the answer is most certainly yes!

I can't imagine anyone who likes Ry Cooder being disappointed with any of the easier to find albums here like 'The Long Riders', 'Paris, Texas', and 'Crossroads'. The versions in the box either equal or (in the case of 'The Long Riders') sound even better than the original CD editions. The cardboard sleeves are all very neat too. 'Paris, Texas' has a different sleeve than the one I am familiar with.

'Alamo Bay' was originally issued on Slash Records (1985) and was one title that I have always wanted to get hold of. It has, as a stand-alone album, been out of print for years, so I was well pleased to find it included in this box. This soundtrack has a varied mix of different musical styles, and all have their own special attractions. Although I have only heard it once I like what I am hearing.

'Blue City' (1986) is another album with a varied mix of musical styles. It opens with a rocker, followed by a slow groove instrumental that features some lovely steel drum sounds. I don't think Ry Cooder plays on the third track, a pop song performed by a band called True Believers. The record also includes a Ry Cooder version of the 1958 Johnny Cash song 'Don't Take Your Guns To Town'.

A lot of the very impressive 'Johnny Handsome' soundtrack (released in 1989) was featured on the superb double CD 'Music By Ry Cooder', and after hearing the deep atmospheric pieces that were featured on that compilation getting hold of the entire album became a priority.

'Trespass' (originally issued on Sire in 1992) is the one album here that really will surprise a lot of people. This soundtrack features Jon Hassell on trumpet and is full of what sounds to me like industrial/experimental music (not a musical style you would associate with Ry Cooder). The record is notable for the inclusion of one cracking vocal track with killer lyrics - 'King Of The Street', and ends surprisingly with 'Party Lights', an out and out straight country song with Junior Brown on vocal.

All the CD soundtracks in this box have a great sound so no worries about the mastering.

The box itself is sturdy. There is no booklet - but that's no big deal when you can check online if you want or need any further info / reading material.

If you are after a bargain just check the price of the box and divide by 7 (then check the price of the stand alone CDs).

This collection is an excellent follow up to last year's wonderful 11 CD box >>Ry Cooder<< 1970 -1987.

Thomas E. Davis

One of the great film composers

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2014

For most of the 20th century, the movie music greats, many of them transplanted Europeans, naturally drew from the classical canon: Max Steiner, Alfred Newman, Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone, John Williams, Maurice Jarre, John Berry, Nino Rota, Jerry Goldsmith, and so on. Some of them, like Aaron Copland, Miklós Rózsa, Sergei Prokofiev, and Dmitri Shostakovitch, were first and foremost classical composers. As the cinema approached this century, however, its composers began to diversify greatly, drawing from so many traditions -- jazz, rock, folk, and other genres -- that it became very hard to categorize them. Ry Cooder sounds nothing like Danny Elfman or Randy Newman or James Horner or Hans Zimmer or anyone else, for that matter.

Since the 1960s, Cooder has been producing music of an enormously eclectic range, from traditional to modern, on his own and in collaboration with the likes of Captain Beefheart, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Neil Young, David Lindley, John Hiatt, Nick Lowe, The Chieftains, and The Doobie Brothers. He is clearly influenced by such deeply American traditions as bluegrass, delta blues, Tex-Mex, Dixieland, and gospel, but he blends them together with other musical strains (including Hawaiian, African, Latin, etc.) to create unique soundtracks.

This collection presents complete film scores from seven movies that Cooder scored in the 1980s and 1990s. They come on seven CDs in thin sleeves, contained in a sturdy case. Three of them ("The Long Riders," "Paris, Texas," and "Crossroads") are fine films in their own right. The others ("Alamo Bay," "Blue City," "Johnny Handsome," and "Trespass") are far less memorable, but the music is never less than inspired. The box is very different from the 1995 release "Music by Ry Cooder," a two-CD sampler from 11 different movies. Both are recommended; your choice, I suppose, depends on how big a fan you are. But if you love film music, you need Ry in your collection. He really is one of the greats.

Steve Gee

Sonic Americana!

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2014

Terrific collection from one of the true artists that exudes America with every song his composes, performs and produces. Of the 7 albums, Alamo Bay and Johnny Handsome drag a bit for me but the rest starting with The Long Riders, Cross Roads, Blue City and the experimental jazz of Trespass are fantastic with the last disc Trespass ending with an ironic old timey like song after the urban music assault which brings the music full circle. The jewel in this collection is the breath taking soundtrack to Paris, Texas where Cooder supplies a clinic of acoustic based slide guitar. My only real complaint is lack of a liner note book to flesh out the story of the making of the many soundtracks and revealing the many fine musicans that Cooder employed. Franky, Cooder's music is Sonic Americana.

And Ry not?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2017

What can I say about Ry Cooder? A genius? Definitely. Someone that is not afraid to take music to different places, explore and allow us to enjoy the journey. There are the obvious film soundtracks such as Paris, Texas and Crossroads but there are also films where the music is more memorable than the actual movies they represent. Anyone have 'Blue City' as their favourite blockbuster of all time? No me neither. But as for the music that is something I will go back to time and time again.

With the box itself it is utilitarian, and is fit for the purpose intended. The albums are in the cardboard sleeves that copy the original LP's so expect eye strain if you try to read them, but personally I couldn't care less who the producer's assistant was or the name of the studio where it was recorded.

There is one slight drawback as the soundtrack album "Last Man Standing" is not included but that can be bought on its own (and I already had a copy of that anyway). So to anyone that appreciates the fine musical craftsmanship of Mr Ryland Cooder, or wants to discover it, then I think you would not be disappointed in this.

Well from my perspective its a great value set from Ry Cooder. Great as a background when in idle chatter with others but listen more carefully and you can tell who the composer is without a shadow of a doubt. Classic Cooder slide guitar laid back and relaxed. Personally I enjoy it and I am familiar with some of the films but its not for everybody.

I already owned most of Ry Cooder's other recordings and many of the films these soundtracks appear on. So it was an easy step to get them on cd. I am very glad I did. The man is a genius and the sound quality is magnificent. This was a great buy.
