33 Primary Colors (1998)

Cooder said goodbye to Hollywood in 1998 with his score for Primary Colors. Based on Joe Klein's originally anonymous book, the film tells the story of Bill Clinton's rise to the White House. Cooder's musical contribution is brief and eclectic, a mix of reinvented American classics, some ingenious recycling, and a few original compositions.

This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes. In all cases, without exception, we believe this is protected by fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the U.K. and EEA, and similar exceptions in the copyright laws of other nations. No more of the original than necessary is used, and excerpts are edited into long-form narratives, making the use transformative in nature.
