Our Take

Ah, original soundtrack by Ry Cooder, we meet again. The Border is like a musical time machine, transporting you to the dusty, sun-soaked landscapes of the American Southwest. With Cooder's signature slide guitar and earthy vocals, this album is a journey through the borders of country, blues, and folk music.

From the opening track, you can almost feel the heat rising off the desert floor. The instrumental pieces are rich and layered, weaving a tapestry of sound that is both haunting and beautiful. Each track tells a different story, painting vivid pictures of hardship, perseverance, and the rugged beauty of the borderlands.

Cooder's collaborations with artists like Flaco Jiménez and The Juice Pigs add depth and complexity to the album, blending traditional Mexican sounds with Cooder's unique style. The result is a musical melting pot that is both captivating and familiar.

Whether you're a fan of Ry Cooder's previous work or new to his sound, The Border is a must-listen. This album is a testament to Cooder's skill as a musician and storyteller, and a reminder of the power of music to transcend boundaries. So grab your hat, dust off your boots, and let Ry Cooder take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
