Current status: grinding; need some fancy drums, a horn section with a tuba, accordion, a waltz, and throw in some anti-banker sentiment. That should sort me out.

Blue City - Motion Picture Soundtrack
1986 U.S. pressingThis is one of those that you could include in that “Great Soundtracks To Awful Movies” discussions.
Blue City was SO bad, that first-time director Michelle Manning would never be allowed to direct a major studio motion picture ever again.
It’s a HORRENDOUSLY bad movie.
Luckily, it’s not ALL bad, because it gave us a really cool soundtrack compliments of the great Ry Cooder. It’s far and away the best part of the movie, and if it was a backdrop to a DIFFERENT movie, people would know it more.

@mizblueprint @mmiasma This CD is a favorite and the music so dynamic. The photos and story as part of this concept album is quite a memorable history of the people there and the culture. Highly recommend. This link has a review and you can hear samples.

Randy Newman, Little Criminals, 1977 on Warner Bros
Randy Newman’s fifth studio LP and his highest charting, in part due to “Short People,” which was also a hit single. Produced by Lenny Waronker and Russ Titelman, with supporting players including Waddy Wachtel, Joe Walsh, Glen Frey, J.D. Souther, Tim Schmit, Klaus Voorman, Jim Keltner, Willie Weeks, and even Ry Cooder on mandola on “Kathleen.”
My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a Bestway pressing, with some price sticker damage on the front from a previous owner.

John Hiatt, Bring the Family, 1987 on A&M
John Hiatt’s eighth studio album and his first on A&M. What a fantastic songwriter! Actually paid for by Demon Records in the UK, but picked up after being completed by A&M in the US.
Guests include Ry Cooder (doing harmony vocals on “Have a Little Faith in Me” as well as electric guitar and sitar work), Nick Lowe on bass, and Jim Keltner on drums, making this something of a proto-Little Village album. Also includes “Thing Called Love” that was later a hit for Bonnie Raitt.
My copy—via Waterloo Records in Austin TX—is a Columbia House club pressing (Carrollton) with CRC on the bottom of the rear cover.

Wim Wenders – „Paris, Texas“ (1984)
1984, ich war 19 und mal wieder in Paris. Vom Ruhrgebiet aus ist das näher als Berlin. Nur, weil ich nichts zu tun hatte. Keine Pläne, keine Termine. Ich hatte kein Geld, eine schäbige Unterkunft, nichts zu tun – und dieser Film lief in absolut allen Kinos auf den Champs-Élysées. Nicht in einem Programmkino, nicht versteckt im Quartier Latin, sondern einfach überall. Manche Häuser zeigten ihn parallel in mehreren Sälen. So etwas hatte ich noch nie gesehen. Die Stadt schien sich verschworen zu haben, diesen Film mit offenen Armen zu empfangen – während er in Deutschland gar nicht zu sehen war. (ARTE)

Wim Wenders – “Buena Vista Social Club” (1999)
Natürlich habe ich dieses Fest damals im Kino gesehen. Viermal. Oder siebenmal? Ich weiß es echt nicht mehr. Doch es ging gar nicht anders. Damals lief der Film im Eulenspiegel, auf der Steeler Straße. Nach der Vorstellung konnten wir draußen auf dem Bordstein sitzen, rauchen und schweigen. Kein Mensch kam raus und sagte: „War ganz okay.“ Alle waren berauscht. Weil alle wussten: Wir waren gerade Zeugen geworden. Nicht von einem Film. Sondern von etwas Echtem. (ARTE)

Self-Titled Summer | Buena Vista Social Club (1997, Cuba)
Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 461 on The List, submitted by dharmadischarge. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Point of origin(s): In 1996, a Havana-based project headed by British music producer and World Circuit record label executive Nick Gold was meant to result in a collaboration between Cuban and African musicians, plus American guitarist Ry Cooder.(1) In the end, the musicians from Africa were unable to make it to Havana, and instead three albums of Cuban music resulted from the ensemble of mostly local musicians, all released the following year: A Toda Cuba le Gusta, the first album under the collective name Afro-Cuban All Stars (led by Juan de Marcos González); Introducing… Rubén González, highlighting the ensemble’s fantastic piano player; and, the album we look at here, the first and only studio album under the collective name Buena Vista Social Club, named after the music venue in Havana that was popular in the 1940s. The lineups aren’t exactly the same across all three recordings, but on this album is: Luis Barzaga, Julio Alberto Fernández Colina, Ibrahim Ferrer, Carlos González, Juan de Marcos González, Rubén González, Manuel “Puntillita” Licea, Orlando “Cachaíto” López, Manuel “Guajiro” Mirabal, Eliades Ochoa, Omara Portuondo, Salvador Repilado Labrada, Julienne Oviedo Sánchez, Compay Segundo, Benito Suárez, Barbarito Torres, Alberto “Virgilio” Valdés, Lázaro Villa, and Ry Cooder and his son Joachim Cooder.
- Tasting notes: Son cubano, bolero, descarga, danzón, guajira, criolla, jazz, sunshine, and the biggest selling Cuban album ever.
- Standout track: The first track “Chan Chan” is such a great vibe-setter so I’ll go with that, but also “Pueblo Nuevo”, one of the tracks that is primarily Rubén González on piano. Oh and, given our series title here, the self-titled track.
- Where are they now?/RIP: While this is the only studio album put out by the collective, the immediate, explosive success of this album made “Buena Vista Social Club” into essentially a brand name for the collective members who went on to release solo projects (indeed, the official website uses ™ behind the name). But, as many of the musicians had already retired long before making this album and had been “in their prime” in the 1940s and 50s – one member, Compay Segundo, was just shy of his 90th birthday in the recording sessions! – it’s likely no surprise that at least a handful of the musicians have since left us, some not too long after the release of this album, including Licea in 2000, Segundo and R. González in 2003, Ferrer in 2005, and López in 2009.
There’s a LOT to dig into around this collective and the overall impact/importance of this album on the world’s interest in Cuban and Latin American music. A good place to start might be Wim Wenders’ 1999 documentary of the same name. - Websites: Band website, Wikipedia, documentary
Happy listening!

Jamming With Edward - Nicky Hopkins, Ry Cooder, Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman & Charlie Watts
Now here's a real curiosity. During recording sessions for Let It Bleed, Keith Richards had left the studio, apparently upset that Ry Cooder had been brought in as a session guitarist.
The remaining Stones, along with Cooder and Nicky Hopkins, a leading session pianist (known by the band, for some reason, as Edward) spent the time jamming. Their efforts were recorded, and this album is the result.
It's pretty much what you'd expect from a jam by a group of leading R & B musicians - great fun but no classic.#nowPlaying #RollingStones #RyCooder #NickyHopkins #music #vinyl
