Spanning 1970-2008, unprecedented 2-cd compilation collects 34 tracks from the virtuoso guitarist and visionary producer’s career including solo works, soundtrack selections, and more!
Rhino takes a joy ride through Ry Cooder’s prolific career with a two-CD collection of his work as a solo artist and soundtrack composer.
Produced by Cooder’s son, Joachim, the 34-song compilation offers a fresh look at Cooder’s musical
career, spanning 38 years—from his eponymous 1970 debut to this year’s I, Flathead—and includes the previously unreleased version of “Let’s Work Together.” Along with his solo work, THE UFO HAS LANDED features selections from Cooder’s film soundtracks, including the themes from Southern Comfort and Paris, Texas.
THE UFO HAS LANDED: THE RY COODER ANTHOLOGY collects Cooder’s most memorable cuts from his solo albums, including “Maria Elena,” “Jesus On The Mainline,” “Boomer’s Story,” “I Got Mine” and “Available Space.” The latter, a Cooder original on his debut, got its name from the album’s producer Van Dyke Parks, who saw the words on an empty billboard on the way to the studio.
An essential for the music collection of every music lover.
