Ry Cooder recommendation...


My knowledge of his work has never been more than his participation on Safe As Milk...but I recently heard a performance at some folk festival from 1979 on the radio & it was just him playing a slide guitar.
Can anyone recommend an album of the same stripped back style ? 

Thanks.

I'm no Ry Cooder expert, but the soundtrack to Paris Texas ain't bad. Cheap, standard issue old pressing should do it. 
I have all his recordings and enjoy each. Jazz is unlike anything else I have in my collection. Not a bad place to start.  Might be love-hate though
