Ry Cooder - Feelin' bad blues

I love this song

I can never listen to this with a dry eye. I'm an old man. This song always makes me think of many loves long gone.

If Ry Cooder and Hank Williams Sr. gotin together on this song "Feelin Bad Glues" to me, there wouldn't have been another Blues song Ever Better. There were only 2 times in my life i can relate to "Feelin Bad Times Blues" one night wile on the US Coast Guard ship i was stationed on by ourselfs floating in the middle of the Black Bearing Sea back in 1964 looking up at the night sky gave me a Very Lonely feelin, felt like just jumin over the side. The other time when my lovin wife after 47 years of marriage passed a few years ago, but Time Heals, just not dwelling on those times but keep on livin day to day the best you can with the help of Jehovah God. THANKS SO MUCH Geert.Glaasker for puttin this Great Blues Song out on YouTub by Ry Cooder.

Thank God for Ry Cooder, J.J. Cale and Roy Buchanan, all's I can say.

+Mossy McSharry Well, one could argue you could thank the Devil. Even if they didn't go to the Crossroads, Robert Johnson is a clear inspiration, and the Devil surely gave him those sweet fingers.

I would add Mark Knopfler and Jerry Douglas to the group.

One of the best from the "Crossroads" sound track, amply certifying Ry as a worthy follow on to Robert Johnson......Now THIS is the blues.....

Ry no words will do you justice Just the quintessence of the beauty of slide guitar in the hands of a master.

[@larrytharp9521]

I group up in Texas listening to my Dad play country blues, he could play so good, he grew up poor. This song reminds me of him playing on the front porch.

[@herculeslianos3828]

Hell of a memory to carry in your heart.

[@keithslater9408]

There are a handful of people that can really send you - Ry Cooder is among that select group. Masterful!

[@bgucrossroads6629]

Never have I heard a song invoke emptiness and despair the way Ry does here. No matter how good a player is, there are some things that cannot be taught, invoking emotion this intense in others is truly a gift.

[@ajlavin561]

I agree, but check out "Dark Was the Night - Cold Was the Ground" by Blind Willie Johnson.

[@Wolfspiderxl]

The Blues isn't just music it's a force in itself, that encapsulates and reflects a person's life, whether it be happy or sad.

[@Pl0xzrZ256]

life is great, miss the older days, remember your first memories, oh how it was fun being a child, friends to play with, getting in trouble, being just a little kid, young playing, tomorrow comes, its ok we will do the sam,e thing again tomorrow. that special moment, being a kid and seeing your favorite view, that memory stuck with you forever, never can go back to that time, just a little closer to the end, its coming, its going to happen one way or another, i guess its just time to sit back and remember the good old days, the days before my innocence disappeared.

[@Greebo666]

Scrapes from the bottle neck, a few missed notes, a couple of miss-hit notes....its the imperfection that makes this perfect. I bet this was done in one take, played with the heart and improvised, just like the blues should be. Ry Cooder, in just four minutes you encompassed a lifetime of heartache, I kneel before you.

[@zippyzipster46]

It’s good. But you’re correct as it is no where near Ry Cooter. Period.

[@DirkjeA]

His music always creates an atmosphere that struck me straight into my soul..... If it is Paris Texas, Southern Comfort or his Crossroad duel, unbelievable.

[@stevehudson6695]

he didnt play the crossroads duel. That was Steve Vai.

[@sehauger]

Steve Vai vs. Ty (Ralph Macchio)

[@stevehudson6695]

steve vai played both parts maam.

[@stevehudson6695]

***** im sure your much better at guitar than the two masters who played that duel.

[@jonathonwatts7042]

Good music is dependent upon technique and musical knowledge and playing skill depending on whether you are composing or playing. Ry is a good player (technique/skill), I like his style, Hendrix (allegedly) is a good player (technique/skill) too but I don't like his music doesn't change the quality of good music. Good music is independent of personal likes. .

Can't no-body even come close to Ry Cooder !!!

[@MunchinMaQuchy]

Songs like this are the only thing that make me feel connected to this world thank you

[@henryVIIIification]

I see several mentions of being alone. Some of us are torn between the joy and peace of being alone and the sometime desire for companionship. Some of us seem to require long periods of solitude and that solitude is not a feeling of being alone. We are with ourselves and its many aspects and facets. And "we" are never really alone at least for those of us who believe in an all pervading and encompassing God. But then again there's often such joy from being with people especially those special ones and thus the being torn. I suppose it is like many other things a balance. May you find yours. Peace from an occasional loner (smile).

I took the liberty of taking a peek at your site, i hope you don't mind. Amazing, again for the second time you "touch" my personality spot on. When i looked at your taste of music I got overwhelmed by flashbacks of nostalgia. At the same time i got struck by a phase of melancholy, in a pleasant way... In the maze of my complexity I give you a special place, which i will cherish, because you are a person - in my opinion - who enriches ones life. And again I thank you for that. Kind regards, DonJohn

[@utah133]

+Bernd Kohler Is there a difference between the "slide guitar" played here and a Dobro? I'm confused.

[@axiomist1076]

+rationalguy Me again : Listen to cuts 6 and 7. That's Prodigal Son and You Gotta Move. Enjoy.

[@TNPassiflora]

+rationalguy Yes, a Dobro is a brand of a wood-bodied, single cone resonator guitar (looks like it has a metal hubcap in the center), and is generally played laying flat. Check out Jerry Douglas on You tube for the best dobro guitar player around. Ry plays what is called "bottleneck" guitar, where the neck of a bottle (like a vinegar bottle in Ry's early years, or a Corocidin bottle in Duane Allman's early years, or a metal slide in some guitarists cases) is used to "slide" across the strings of either a traditional acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. It is a playing style or method, rather than a type of guitar as is the "Dobro" resonator guitar. Ry is in my opinion the best bottleneck player around, he learned directly from many of the old bluesmen.

Tomorrow ain't never as good as yesterday, let them memories remind you of the good times, but don't forget the bad, cause for every mountain you climb there's a hundred swamps you gotta trudge through. Keep your head high and keep your eyes dry, don't let nothing get you down. Life is what you see it as, don't let nobody tell you different.

Feelin' Bad Blues---IMO, no other melody to make you realize the impact of abandonment & loneliness ....saw the original movie "Crossroads" in 1986, when the song was played in a scene towards the end of the film. I just had to memorialize this tune for our feelings of loneliness of our beloved dog, Ranger..who passed long before his time..May he RIP.

[@officialbasura]

I absolutely agree with you 100 percent. I've been going through a lonliness stage in my life again currently and I love blues music but isn't my primary natural musical instinct but woke up this morning and decided to pick up the slide and play this tune. Feelin' Bad Blues makes me Feelin' Gooddd
