Ry Cooder has announced details of a seven CD retrospective boxed set focussing on his soundtrack work in the Eighties and early Nineties.
Ry Cooder: Soundtracks will be released by Rhino on September 30.
The set contains scores for landmark films directed by Walter Hill and Wim Wenders; the musicians accompanying Cooder include Jim Keltner, Jim Dickinson, David Lindley and Van Dyke Parks, as well as Cesar Rosas and David Hidalgo of Los Lobos and Heartbreakers' Benmont Tench.
Don Henley has covered Jackson Browne's "These Days" for a forthcoming 2-CD album, Looking Into You: A Tribute To Jackson Browne.
The album features versions of Browne’s songs by artists including Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa, Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, Bonnie Raitt and JD Souther.
“It is astounding to think that Jackson wrote ‘These Days’ when he was only 16 years old,” Henley said. “But then, he was always a step ahead of the rest of us. I’ve learned a lot from him, over the years, and am honored to be part of this album.”
Jackson Browne is to be honoured by a new tribute album, Looking into You, due for release on April 28 from Music Road Records.
Among the artists covering Browne's songs are Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Lucinda Williams, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby, JD Souther and Joan As Police Woman.
