RY COODER
CHICKEN SKIN BAND 1977
OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST
+ + + + +
Throughout the 1970s, Cooder released a series of Warner Bros. Records albums that showcased his guitar work. Cooder explored bygone musical genres and found old-time recordings which he then personalized and updated. His later 1970s albums (with the exception of Jazz, which explored ragtime/vaudeville) do not fall under a single genre description, but his self-titled first album could be described as blues; Into the Purple Valley, Boomer’s Story, and Paradise and Lunch as folk and blues; Chicken Skin Music and Showtime as a mix of Tex-Mex and Hawaiian; Bop Till You Drop as 1950s R&B; and Borderline and Get Rhythm as rock-based. His 1979 album Bop Till You Drop was the first popular music album released that was recorded digitally, using the early 3M digital mastering recorder. It yielded his biggest hit, an R&B cover version of Elvis Presley’s 1960s recording “Little Sister”. - wikipedia

Big O posted this this morning here and we can always do with some more Ryland P Cooder! I suspect I have this but if it's someone else's downloaded work its gotta be worth a try and this sets the scene for my weekend's listing pleasure! Again if you avoid the 'comments' section, torrent of racist sexist abuse and tirades of filth it can be done - though be warned any criticism and the trolls will take you on and post in your name too! . . . . it is worth still checking what the guys in Singapore post here and this is no exception. Classic tracks all! No exceptions
