Harry Dean Stanton

Harry Dean Stanton was already three decades into his career as an actor’s actor when he began touring regularly as a song interpreter with a small acoustic trio.

Joined by top-shelf sidemen Steven Soles and Kenny Edwards, Stanton dropped into Deirdre’s studio on June 24, 1987, to share a commanding set of covers in both Spanish and English. Included is “Canción Mixteca,” which Stanton legendarily performed in Wim Wenders’s “Paris, Texas.”
