#morningCoffeeAlbum Crossroads - soundtrack album by Ry Cooder In addition to the many fine albums issued in his name (not to mention his extensive session work), Ry Cooder wrote the soundtracks to several movies which were released as albums. Crossroads is based on the legend surrounding blues musician, Robert Johnson. Johnson, whose recording career spanned less than a year, nevertheless had enormous influence on the development of the blues. According to the legend, Johnson, at the time a plantation worker, met the devil at a crossroads and entered into a Faustian plot to become a great blues player. The title/opening track is a Johnson composition. #nowPlaying #RyCooder #RobertJohnson #music #vinyl
