Ry Cooder recommendation...

Nice idea for a thread- infection ;)

I am looking to get into Ry myself. There are (2) boxed sets, 1 for studio albums, 1 for his Movie/Film soundtracks avail now. Any of you guys own these?

Thanks for your input guys & thanks jafant...sounds like good timing ! 

So are any of his albums just him & guitar?

Ry Cooder, Anthology - The UFO has landed, a Rhino/Warner 2 cd set is a decent overview of his work, enjoy!

LOVE Ry Cooder's music. Check out "Talking Timbuktu" from the mid nineties. Incredible album.

Have a listen to "Meeting by the River," an improvised collaboration between Ry Cooder and Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. It won a Grammy for Best World Music Album. 

The two met only an hour before it was recorded. It was unplanned and unrehearsed. Brilliant playing, brilliant interaction between two master musicians.
