EVENSONG. BLUES IN THE NIGHT, RY COODER AND DAVID LINDLEY., JESUS ON THE MAINLINE
Yes, thanks, mr arthur, it does, but so do Beethoven and Bach.
Nostalgia isn't, for me, what the Ry Cooder posts are about; he's a modest American giant who, in so many different styles, can play the balls off anyone else in the business. There is only Richard Thompson who approaches Cooder's virtuosity and eclecticism; alone or ensemble, Ry Cooder is a timeless, transcendent, incredible string band.
Takes one back in time.

Beethoven and Bach take me no where. But "One man's meat ....." as they say.
Ken Collier and Monty Sunshine are more to my taste.
Plucking good plucking....
ReplyDeleteSpot on, Mr Smith, thanks. Can't get enough of him.
ReplyDeleteLindley's quite a musician too, but why does he dress like Mark Volman?
