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.

This thread inspired me to clean/play "Chicken Skin Music".

It was recommended to me by a former friend who didn't really like blues based music! Wow!

Isn't most music some form of blues?? Is it just me??

Cheers!
Well, if you count anything with a repeating 1/4/5 progression as "some form of the blues", you’re going to pick up a LOT of music with that net.
Paris Texas; the most desolate, and forlorn music I have ever heard in my entire life, for the most desolate and forlorn movie I have ever seen in my entire life.  If you ever think about suicide,  go see "Paris Texas", and you will realize "It could be worse".
