The Ry Cooder Story - Episode 22: Crossroads (1986; Trailer)

Details

Description

Episode 22 out on Thursday! Crossroads (1986)! - Robert Johnson was one of the most important blues guitarists of all time. Cooder didn't cover any of Johnson's songs on his early albums, which is kind of a surprise when you think about it. But in the mid-eighties, a project came along that more than made up for the wait. Crossroads, another Walter Hill film, was a wonderful journey into the history of the blues. It led back to the roots of the Johnson legend, and - interestingly - back to Cooder’s roots as well. It required him to make a whole variety of music, from juke-joint stomps to electric guitar duels.
