The ersatz blues story of the film gives Ry Cooder leeway to turn in an impressive blues-derived soundtrack featuring Sonny Terry along with his usual collaborators Van Dyke Parks, Jim Keltner, Nathan East, & others. But its Cooder s guitar playing that highlights the album. ...
Ry Cooders Election Special is a wakeup call as the U.S. heads towards its November Presidential Election. It follows last years equally politically-charged Pull Up Some Dust & Sit Down, which was one of the best-selling albums of Rys career. Election Special finds an iconic American artist at the top of his game, boldly addressing the problems he sees in his own country. ...
The Musicians Musician. The Master of the Eclectic. There are probably a dozen more titles by which this guitar player is known. To even refer to him as a guitar player is probably a gross mislabeling of this musician. He defies any sort of categorization; this is his greatest strength & for some his weakness.

On My Name Is Buddy, Ry Cooder revisits, in a new set of original material, the sound & feeling of the "dust bowl songs" he first explored more than three decades ago on such groundbreaking albums as his self-titled 1970 debut & 1971s In The violet Valley. In fact, hes joined by old friends like pianist Van Dyke Parks & drummer Jim Keltner who were with him at the start of his extraordinary, ultimately globe-spanning musical odyssey, which has yielded him six Grammy Awards to date, sever ...
Ry Cooder understands that a great song is a great song, whether it was written before the Depression or last week. Still, at the same time he isn't afraid to explore new avenues & possibilities for the material. Like his three previous records, Paradise & Lunch is filled with treasures which become part of a world where eras & styles converge without ever sounding forced or contrived. One may think that an album that contains a traditional railroad song, tunes by assorted blues greats, an ...
