For this selection I have focused on soundtracks composed and performed by Ry Cooder. Ry has been involved in over 17 soundtracks either as a composer or as a contributor. His work as a soundtrack composer is unparalleled and his masterful expertise on the slide guitar is evident in his compositions. He is able to create soundscapes (or "desertscapes" as I like to refer to them) which create stunning atmospheres and backdrops for the images and scenes on the screen.
This selection is all instrumental and is a soundtrack in itself (think dark crime or contemporary western). It's also useful for that next long road trip or listening to on a lazy afternoon.
