AMG Review of Geronimo: An American Legend
William Ruhlmann
All Music GuideDirector Walter Hill hired Ry Cooder to do the score for a movie he describes on the back cover as "a drama about two cultures," and Cooder (with such cronies as David Lindley and R. Carlos Nakai) has delivered an appropriate mixture of sounds identifiably based in Native American music and in nineteenth century American folk music--music for the campfires of both camps, as it were. Cooder is steeped in such styles, and the result is effective, if not one of his more independent scores.
