Product Description
"A visionary guitarist, Ribot is a fount of pithy commentary." -- New York Times "Mercurial in the best possible sense and impossible to categorize." -- NPR
* Marc Ribot is widely recognized as one of the great guitar originals. His distinctively edgy and impassioned sound can be found on the original, and upcoming sequel, of Robert Plant/Alison Krauss's Raising Sand and the upcoming Elton John/Leon Russell collaboration.
* Almost a polar opposite of his last release, Party Intellectuals, Silent Movies is mostly filled with gorgeously contemplative compositions performed solo, with minimal overdubs. The album reflects Ribot's fascination with movies and contains pieces intended to function as music for films: some adaptations of music he has written for film, some for movies that he scored that were never released, some for classic silent films that he scored for his own amusement, and some for films of his own imagination.
* Ribot's solo guitar record Saints (Atlantic, 2001) was very popular and much loved by his fans.
