Ry Cooder

If you do not watch this video you are crazy and don't know what you missed out on! From the album Boomer's Story Performance on the Old Grey Whistle Test. i don't know what to say. i watched this for the first time today. Found on that youtube place. It's a song and a performance that pretty much doesn't require anything but awe and amazement at how good music can be. this is live. hope you don't get hurt on this one. i won't want to admit a thing.

Just thought this song was jermaine to the times....Wry wit, indeed!

It's Friday, It's Funky...and if you need some help getting a date this weekend,you may want to heed the advice herein. It's Ry Cooder ( I post him at the drop of a hat,I know)covering Chuck Berry's " Thirteen Question Method" from the CD "Get Rythym".I think Ry's version is far funkier than Chuck's.....

My contribution to the friday's funkdom is the Ry Cooder version of the Walter Davis song " I Can Tell By The Way You Smell"...well, you said FUNKY!

I really like Baudolino's postings of Hispanic music ... it is a genre I am woefully lacking in. And here we get spoon fed the best of it. Since I can't really add anything of the real organic Latin artists, here's a feeble post( but a terrific song) to the genre of the day..Across the Borderline from the 1987 release " Get Rhythm" was written by Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and Jim Dickinson. The last verse sung in Spanish is the voice of Harry Dean Stanton.

Few words can describe this, so just watch: I finally saw this movie from 1984. Wow, just wow. What a classic & such gorgeous scenery & cinematography. Everything about this movie is stunning. The cast, the director Wim Wenders, Sam Shepard's script, the acting and of course the music. Ry Cooder did the soundtrack and if you watched the clip above you get a great idea of what the rest of the music sounds like. It amazingly graces the movie with it's sparse yet... MORE
