Ry Cooder - Everybody Ought to Treat a Stranger Right (Live in studio)

[@philliphamilton5776]

Fode-se ..... nobody gits it like Ry... he's so fucking cool !!!!

[@johnr8820]

Man his playing has just gotten better with age like fine wine! Cheer Ry!

[@dewimatthews]

His playing has got better with age like a Schott Perfecto biker jacket, or a pair of vintage LEVIS. Why is it always ‘fine wine’ ? How many of us have actual experience of old ‘fine wine’?

[@Sinisa599]

In the name of father and son and spirit of blues.

[@philliphamilton5776]

Amen...!!!!

[@josh0g]

Ry is the rare musician who has never stopped learning and growing. He consistently raises the bar for himself.

[@paddymeboy]

Well you say that, but this is very much the sort of thing he has always done, only not quite as much fun.

[@Youssef51]

One of the great masters of American music. And he just keeps getting better. This is a song with a message, people. Take it to heart!

[@kevinfrancis6033]

Joseph Moosman brilliant

[@watermelonbeast]

One of my favorite passages of scripture: "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels." Hebrews 13:2 However, I wish Ry would let the political stuff go.

[@TNPassiflora]

@@watermelonbeast Why? Because you disagree with him? His music has always been political. American roots music has always been political.

[@roderickbalt8993]

I fully agree, he's got more youth and more life than a lot of youngsters these days. Not a condemnation by the way, just a sign of the times.

[@richardburnett5314]

How's ya doing publishing house for Ry cooder

[@jsteed44]

Ry's smile as he looks to his son on drums as the song ends....priceless! What great tune and album

[@moragmacgregor6792]

Pure gold. And I didn't know that wss his son 😊

[@TheThoughtfulwolf]

I will never ever get enough of Ry. Do you hear me? NEVER!!!!

[@shesaesa]

With ya!

[@gendaminoru3195]

I understand that he is the greatest slide guitar player, by why so forceful with this language? I mean you're thoughtful, right?

[@AFRICASIAEURO1]

Man you got that. Me neither..

[@khadijaboyd6200]

Happy to be alive .🥰

[@bassbob42]

Ry is so amazing in every way. When I was young, I embraced Ry, Duane Allman, Lowell George, Johnny Winter and Bonnie Raitt.

[@stevemeloccaro891]

i believe he's better now than ever, perfect trio him, Doc Watson & Leo kotky

[@vincentallen947]

Absolutely love the look of pure joy that Ry gives his son at the end,I think it speaks volumes about their relationship !

[@johnclapzucker3145]

Spoken like a prodigy .

[@dukek3524]

Ry Cooder has infused his finger blood with every genetic thread of American music and his voice has comes out of the hollow log of heaven.

[@wanasaihunn4784]

Well that is an awesome description!!!

[@TNPassiflora]

Indeed!

[@roderickbalt8993]

No better way to say it!

[@nangray56]

Missed out on all Ry's good sound & messages in my youth. Thanks to all who helped their fellow man in some way today ♡

[@SteveG123]

Man oh man, it's gratifying to hear Ry in such superb form. Loving Ry from the beginning when he first stepped out. A Musical treasure.

[@johnearl9402]

What is it about him that makes me feel so, so good and simply in awe of his artistry.......I suppose I've just answered my own question haven't I.......idiot!....it's approaching midnight and I'm slightly inebriated .......

[@TNPassiflora]

@@johnearl9402 I get it! My fave quote about Ry: "Ry Cooder is a joy." - Judy Collins, "Living," 1971 (liner notes)

[@MrPoodleguy]

I had an 8 track of Ry back in 1970. The only cut I can remember was “One Meatball”! He was like the first slightly well know slide guitar artists & was considered the best by many. Good to see still doin it, even better!!

[@rpgthunderthudd2827]

This guy is one of our great talents in this country, his skill is legendary, he's backed up many others.... Taj Mahal, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and more. He was into "World Music" before they felt the need to create yet another category (that's segregation in the music business) as if.... He has done many soundtracks for successful movies that alot of us have seen. You may not like this guy's politics, sometimes they bother me but thats alright, he's "old school" and so am I. Only in this country could I have had the opportunity to hear his talented guitar playing, be influenced by the ideas that he chose to express in the music and be free to choose for myself how I was influenced by them. I love that and "Cancel Culture" would not have allowed many of the songs he's recorded to have been recorded and that is shameful. This man's music is "archival" it should be listened to, referred to and referenced by future generations. Besides all the "socio-political" benefits of exposing yourself to the ideas represented in his music, he remains a freakin' great bluesman.

[@forrestmosby7118]

Been a fan since the early 70’s…Truly one of the greats👍

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

Many years ago I saw Ry make people cry and a little later jump around with delight with the sound of his music and storytelling. Because of the very great and blessed Ry Cooder the world better places to live, this man has the God-given gifts to cure all people ills and pains, I bet he could make the blind see and the crippled walk by people just listing to his music and talks about injustices and the great greed of some others which only causes great troubles to the less well off. What more in this great big world do we needed, only more of this master player, singer, and educator

[@johngallaghermusic9777]

This is so good. Ry is amazing . You can't put a genre to his music .Its a real melting pot of blues, country RNB Tex Mex etc. A true original and major force behind American music

[@mapsan1]

Ry Cooder history - look at that and just enjoy!!!

[@marklatkowski6526]

A national treasure for sure! Long live Ry Cooder!

[@vaughancarlton-jones6376]

Yes. I wonder if its his own studio/rehearsal space?

[@jsteed44]

The picture too!

[@Nick0Kyuubi0Narion]

i'd guess it was Ry himself, he's an incredible producer

[@ToddtheExploder]

Ry Cooder is an American musical legend of the first order.

[@francoisebeylie2923]

Yes , a legend , but in person...a living legend

[@TNPassiflora]

Our under-appreciated national treasure! Sounding great!

[@TNPassiflora]

Maybe not anyone who is in the know, who's actually listened to him. But, lots of folks unfortunately are not familiar with Ry like they should be.

[@TNPassiflora]

I think you seriously miss my point. He is very appreciated by those who know him; legendary even, but there are sadly lots of folks here in the USA who don't know his music at all. That is all I was saying.

[@Sinisa599]

Ry Cooder is American national treasure.

40+ years ago my 3 brothers had the great foresight to bring me along to see Ry Cooder. What a concert that was, Ry on his Chicken Skin tour in the National Stadium, Dublin .Thanks Brothers and thanks Ry. Can't wait to to meet up with you all again in October , same venue. Ry just as brilliant as ever.

[@johnriehle623]

Saw him first in the mid '80s at the Palace in Hollywood with his full review, in the middle of which Elvis Costello walked on stage and sang a duet with Ry. Saw him next in the 90's in a bar in LA doing a fund-raiser for free with Flaco Jimenez and Harry Dean Stanton all on stage together. That was the "house band"! Harry sang his signature standard, Cancion Mixteco. RIP Harry.

[@suzystokes1191]

Oh my God. Never expect he can get even better, but this is superior!!!

[@TheBowzwow]

........Ry ...You Just Get Better and Better each time I hear you.............

[@marck1726]

So many famous guitar players keep playing their blues clichés , makes you think blues is dead,,and then Ry Cooder plays and sing and gives it a new life.

[@jonathonbrough5888]

That's a 10 string guitar. Never seen that before. Bottom E & A are single strings the rest have a drone string. Ry's secret weapon. What fat sound he has. Love it.

[@philliphamilton5776]

seriously.... now I see

[@edantos9007]

Fantastic. He has still got the cool. Check how his band looks to him. They obviously love Ry. Also cool that the musicians with him are young enough to be his grandchildren but he is still the man. Love this.

[@jeremywynne993]

I would hope that his son loves him! That's Joachim Cooder on drums, and Joachim's brother-in-law, Robert Francis (Juliette Commagere's brother), on bass.

I believe the drummer on this is his son. Ry Cooder is my all-time favorite guitarist. Sings great too and with a message.

Fantastic song and singer....looking at this a second time i am impressed by the electric treatment the alto saxophonist uses....also Joachim playing the drums....Ry is so far ahead....

[@re90652]

About 1980 I bought” Bob till you drop” just because I thought the album cover was cool. I didn’t know a thing about Mr Ry Cooder. I’ve since been a big fan of him and now his son. He wrote the music for films , like Paris Texas. He has a very unique style & tells stories about his & the world’s life. He wrote a whole album about Dodgers Stadium, & people used to live right on third base before they were all evicted. Chavez Ravine. His song Get Rhythm is one of my favorites. There are just too many good songs.

[@HollyMcCormick-r7n]

Good evening all, love this song, what can I say I love all of the Cooder family music and the people they have chosen to play with them on this music .And the sentiment of the words I live in a retirement community in N Michigan its sad but many of them about 1/4 don't always know where they are, my fav was Eleanor lived to 100 a petite sweet lady I would roll up to her ask if she wanted to race me she would get a big smile on her face. The Senior center in Roscommon gave her a big party.. She had been in the Marines but couldn't talk anymore and passed a month or so after her birthday. .

I find this and Prodigal Son Live in the Studio superb and much better than the versions on the CD. Which begs the question: who chose the inferior versions for official release?

[@francoisebeylie2923]

I think that versions on the cd are not inferior but have a different sound.

[@ronaldh8446]

I feel the same way. Ry's guitar is what speaks to my soul and these live studio versions feature more of his virtuoso slide work. This more exceptional to me.
