andnowitsallthis.blogspot.com/2020/11/why-dont-you-try-ry-ry-cooders-50.htmlThe first Ry Cooder solo album turns 50 in December 2020, but it’s unlikely we’ll see much in the way of commemorative reissues or special edition box sets to mark the event. Cooder is not that kind of artist, after all. So, half a century on, let’s celebrate that landmark debut record with a leisurely stroll through the slide guitar maestro’s remarkable body of work, cherry picking 50 of his greatest tracks along the way.

Nice stroll down memory lane--or, in my case, through my Ry library, which has been accumulating since 1970. Though I have to disagree about Ry's first album, which I find neither fussy nor over-produced, even if in other contexts a little Van Dyke Parks can go a long way. And I think Ry is flat wrong about "Jazz," which I still listen to with considerable pleasure.
