Soundtrack by Ry Cooder to the movie "Paris, Texas" from 1984, directed by Wim Wenders.
It's the music by dusty angels, and it suits this fantabulous movie like... cheese and red wine... a Ferrari and my garage... a pink sweater on Nastassja Kinski... like... hand in glove. I love the music just the way I love the movie by Wenders, which I may have seen 4 or 5 times and haven't found boring or too long yet. The music on this album is just perfect for an evening listening to old vinyl records, and I don't really need any other company - this is more than just fine. In my mind, this is by far Cooder's best album.
