About this album

Ry Cooder’s Crossroads soundtrack is a sharp, historically grounded celebration of Delta blues that gives the 1986 film its real authority. Drawing on traditional material and Cooder’s own interpretive guitar style, the album connects the movie’s blues mythology to the music’s older, tougher roots. Rather than treating the soundtrack as background, Cooder frames it as part of the story, with performances that evoke Blind Willie Johnson, Willie Brown and other foundational figures. The result is one of his most distinctive film works: a score that helped introduce wider audiences to the depth, grit and emotional force of the blues tradition.
