RY COODER

One of my favourite Ry Cooder songs and my favourite written by him *. . . . . . sound advice too!

For me the lesson learned is never let anyone "put you up a tree!"

UPDATE

*as has been pointed out on the Facebook page I am wrong to say it was written by Ry. It is a song by Washington Phillips, he of 'Denomination Blues' fame, covered also by Ry. The track 'Tattler' is based on Phillips' dirge like original song 'You Can't Stop a Tattler' a cautionary tale about Tattle Tales for sure. Now the album 'Paradise and Lunch' cites 'Phillips, Cooder and Titleman' and it is my guess they were allowed to do this as whilst Ry borrows or uses three or four verses, the arrangement fortunately (sic) is totally different . . . . . .

Now Phillips' Denomination Blues' is worth a mention here too as I LOVE that song too and it makes me laugh out loud . . . . but the similarity is closer that the work done on Tattler . . . . . .
