Before we return to LR, a slight detour via Chilean singer Mon Laferte and her new album, Sais. Yes, Chilean, but she has long been interested in many different genres - especially Mexican. This album channels Chavela Vargas the ‘rough voice of tenderness’. Here is her interpretation of the love lorn ballad Se Me Va a Quemar El Corazón
Complete album:

Been having a right notion for the great Terry Allen lately, so a damp Mexican Tuesday seemed like a good time to stick 'Cortez Sail' from his wonderful record 'Juarez' on the forum turntable.

Meanwhile Harry Dean Staunton reprises his song from Paris, Texas.
Must be Tuesday.
As inveterate completists, we'd better have the version he did with Ry Cooder too

Remarkable performance G. I've merely heard of Paris Texas, the book. I bet I missed out judging from your link.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostMeanwhile Harry Dean Staunton reprises his song from Paris, Texas.

Coincidentally, my offering is also from film(s). In Rio Bravo, the baddies are building up the menace by playing El Deguello - the Mexican bugle call used at The Alamo to warn the defenders. John Wayne was involved in both films of course, and he got Dimitri Tiompkin to rustle up a suitable theme to evoke a continuity. If you don't see that link, he also gets The Alamo mentioned in the script of Rio Bravo. Big John no dozer.

Fair puts me in the mood to watch Paris, Texas again, GT. Great clip of Harry Dean Stanton there.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostMeanwhile Harry Dean Staunton reprises his song from Paris, Texas.

I believe the Duke's given name was Marion Morrison, and he came out of the Skye Morrisons, Padraig. Could shoot a midgie from twenty paces.Originally posted by Padraig View Post

After filming Rio Grande, in 1952, John Wayne headed to Cong, County Mayo to film The Quiet Man.Originally posted by Padraig View Post
Cong is one of our all-time favourite places in Ireland, and we always make a visit whenever we can.
When we first went, in the 80's, the filming of The Quiet Man was still quite the thing for the residents. The butcher in particular tended to wax lyrical and the YMCA showed the film - every night.
It was wonderful.
Ashford Castle is in Cong too - a magnificent yet false Victorian lakeside castle built by the ill-fated Guinness family.
Then, back home in England I mentioned this to my friend and neighbour around the corner - a Westport man.
Turned out not only did he love the film (he had already worn out one VHS cassette), he still watched it several times a year.
It became an annual ritual for the pair of us....
we'd better have a couple of the pictures. one from the film:
and the other of quite my favourite spot in Cong, the monks fish house:
What part of Mehico is this again?
Thank you Padraig for your inspired post.Comment

My Mum often told me, when it came on the box,that she was expecting me when she and my Dad went to see 'The Quiet Man'.

The world is getting even smaller. Apart from the coming out of John Wayne film fans, there is the coincidence of strangers invading the sacred territory of the Quiet Man's environs. Driving to Lough Corrib one year in May, I took the scenic route via Cong. I got the whole story of the film, passed the actual house used in the film, still standing in a lonely field. At Corrib we (a now defunct trio of friends) once took our boat to a pier near Ashford Castle. I'm sure that the monks' fish house must be quite near where we docked, because the island that we were on had the well preserved ruins of a monastery, with a graveyard and ancient headstones. I took a photograph of one of my pals standing in the entrance to the tiny church in a natural wild setting probably concealing evidence of other activities.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostAshford Castle is in Cong too - a magnificent yet false Victorian lakeside castle built by the ill-fated Guinness family
. . . quite my favourite spot in Cong, the monks fish house:
We went to Corrib for many years, though that was the only time we visited that particular island. It was usually the last week of May and by now we would have been enjoying the fuss of preparations for the trip - like making sure we had enough malt whiskey for three thirsty anglers weighed down with specimen Corrib trout. Ah the folly of it! It won't happen again but happen it did. And happy were we.Comment

A passionate rendition of Volver, Volver by Linda Ronstadt.
