Ry Cooder Get Rythm Video (studio version)

Bluesy version of Johnny Cash's classic

[@kurtzwar729]

Ry Cooder. Bobby King. Flaco Jimenez (I saw them together in Seattle in 1968). Harry Dean Stanton. Johnny Cash. Love this. American music at it's best.

[@neojohn44]

Ry's Get Rythm has been a great favorite of mine for many years...this is the first time I saw the video! So great.

[@MrRoundwound]

This guitar solo has been giving me goosebumps for well over 30 Years. I love ry cooder

[@billkarmetsky4003]

The hands-down greatest music video and rendition of Cash's "Get Rhythm" in history. There will never be anything like it. What Cooder brings to the table is REAL Americana. Praise God I am alive to experience Americana in all its glory. It can still save the world from the Federal Reserve, no?

[@reedbender1179]

That's the Plan-once the neo-cons are neo-unconscious and the Barbarians sack Goldman Sachs,and Blackrock becomes limpcock, and I dispose of Henry K-George S and Klaus Slob the Revolution may begin in deadly earnest...💣...until then Ry Cooder & Moola Banda Rythm Aces will keep me sane and in the groove ! 👌... 😎

[@kensternberg3780]

Amen, brother!

[@QINDynastyDrones]

I love this song😊

[@ccryder6605]

One of the coolest music videos ever made. Rip Harry Dean Stanton.

[@anthonyshiach5049]

I went to Ry Cooder and Moula Banda Rhythm Aces in Glasgow on strength of this video and it was best concert I’ve ever been too, pure class and Steve Douglas on sax, he’s played with Duane Eddy and Phil Spector wall of sound, proper hero of mine!,

[@jamespmurray4059]

It doesn’t get any better than this.

[@kensternberg3780]

OMG!! Ry is a world treasure! This ought to be in the dictionary under “Great Music.”

[@StephenMWest]

I remember when this video first came out, I went out and bought the album the very next day, and became a lifelong Ry Cooder fan. To this day I still think it's one of the best videos ever made to showcase how a band can light up a room and turn up the heat, the black guys singing are just fricken awesome too. The Moola Banda Rythm Aces.. Harry Dean Stanton... if that song can't make you twitch, music ain't your thing.

[@eugeneplaud2131]

No one plays guitar like Ry Cooder plays guitar. He plays everyone,

[@WichitaGuy56]

Gotta love it. Jim Keltner on the drums, Flaco Jimenez on accordion, and Ry slidin' his ass off. Sweet!!!

[@malcomlovejoy]

AND HARRY DEAN STATON? as THE m/c

[@malcomlovejoy]

STANTON

[@steveleeds8212]

I think that is Steve Douglas on sax and Van Dyke Parks on piano

[@completelyboringstuff204]

A song to instantly improve your mindset. Great!

[@texascarl]

I'm sure Johnny Cash would approve.

[@texascarl]

Johnny would jump right in. That's the best Bandoneon player who's ever set in on that tune.

[@emmylubrowne]

I can't stop watching this. Ry smoking, Harry Dean Stanton ultimate cool. It sure does not get any better than this anywhere, anyway.

[@joecontreras5068]

I’m with you all the way brother

[@mikehiers]

I wish this video was an hour long. What a story and performance in under 4 minutes! Ry was, is and always will be a Music Master.

[@craigtracy8470]

Just loop it, and listen all night....

[@felixkingiv4978]

When I had this.. 10" vinyl, 12", album and a simple amp with a boost and a bass that would lift the roof of the house, nice speakers, too.. I forget where I was going with this; oh, happy, happy days.... 😉💕

[@susansidermann1665]

Ry Cooder, the god of the slide guitar... I love him

[@sonnyblu6299]

I know Ry Cooder has more famous songs... but for me, Get Rhythm and All Shook Up are my favs... the greatest guitar sound... freaking haunting. I feel like he's conjuring up some Voodoo Sprits. Sonny Landreth and Derek Trucks are amazing... but Ry has got some Scary Mojo.

[@LesCish]

Ry Cooder is incredible, fan for 40 years. And he invariably collaborates with other great musicians. I have to say though that my favorite cover of this Johnny Cash song is by NRBQ.

[@aloisemason3972]

Ry Cooder is the man,the music legend ,the guitar player and singer with the rhyrhem and melody soaring out to all his fans..a great performer and entertainer..not forgotten

[@user-to9mm5cy6m]

And our history teacher.

[@namcat53]

I have to add, seeing the whole band onstage when they are really cooking like on this tune, the syncopated moves of the singers with Ry boppin', Keltner swingin'... everyone rocking out, it's a joy to behold at their shows around this time. The fast editing leaves that out and misses some of the really cool stuff you'd see as an audience member. Extra thanks to genius Van Dyke Parks on keyboard.

[@Quadrant14]

@namcat53 call me out if I am wrong, but I believe the kid shining the shoes is actually Joachim Cooder, Ry's son....I may be wrong

[@AvrahamAdler1]

RIP Harry Dean Stanton, matre de of the most elegant club in the world :)

[@rixtatrixta2689]

Oh Harry Dean S. Once reputed to be "the coolest man on the planet"... RIP

[@tomstanfield5322]

That has to the best start ever. Loved him with Beefheart & ever since.

[@stevecarter8940]

What ! Only 2K thumbs up for the best music video ever created in the history of the universe ??? Should be 2B by now !

[@QINDynastyDrones]

Hands down going away for sure1️⃣✔️🦜🙏🙏🙏🦜🦜🦜😇😇😇🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@aapple3749]

Miss you so much, Harry Dean

[@morphinlounge101]

Same here.

[@michaelemory552]

I love this whole thing so much! I get good chills. The vibe of music brings local gentry and just what the bored parrot and Harry Dean Stanton need. Harry knows.

[@jeffgaumond4250]

One of my all time favorite music videos. This is so great on so many levels, Ry you da man! He is a musical genius, every strange alley he turns down has gold at the end of it. Check out his new album it is tremendous.

[@stephenrobinson9252]

Wonder if Ry and Harry knew each other before “Paris, Texas”. One of my favorite movies. Because of them. And Nastassja Kinski, of course!

[@rogerbenitez8818]

Pure gold. Thanks.

[@JMDinOKC]

RIP the incomparable and underappreciated Harry Dean Stanton.

[@RSpill52]

He was VERY appreciated !

[@todlloyd4127]

I can't stop laughing about the first bit of this wonderful video. Harry Dean Stanton; "club El Mundo Elegante. It gives me great personal pride and pleasure to introduce uh...the Mula Banda Rythm Aces!" Good lord. Then that kick ass music. A great video of a great song.

[@ritchiecross8972]

11 GIANT-STEPS BEYOND FANTASTIC !!

[@giacomoleopardi29]

What a fantastic Band it is.once more....and again! Music.

[@Quadrant14]

master musicians and a super set of back up singers, utterly brilliant live too. Ry on a slide is a wonderful thing, his Film Soundtracks are haunting as well. and thanks Harry Dean Stanton

[@jimmyjohnson9615]

One of my favs of Ry Cooder and gang . Another super great song by Ry is 'All Shook up"

[@TheVatonaught]

so far I watched this 3 times in a row and the evening is young...el mundo elegante'...yes Harry...

[@seatech1]

This is so freaking great!

[@DuneAquaViva]

RIP Harry Dean Stanton.!

[@aberamagold7509]

I remember when this video first came out sometime in the 80's and it became an immediate favourite of mine and my friends, so I recorded it and we commenced to play the shit out of it (it= a VHS tape). The video also introduced my friends to Harry Dean Stanton; I, being far more cultured, had seen him in a few movies before. The last movie I saw him in, which had to be his last, was Lucky and it was a good movie but slightly odd at times e.g. Howard (played by the oh so bizarre David Lynch) had a pet tortoise named President Roosevelt who had run away, yes a tortoise ran away.

[@malcomlovejoy]

A.G. you too? loved Harry thru the years "Christine" "KELLYS hEROES" DAMN BOUT everything he's been in I've seen, never win an Oscar but sure deserves one

[@timopuente2972]

Harry Dean Stanton, one of my allt. fav. supporting actors..top!

[@stephenduffy4855]

The most accomplished slide guitarist of his generation

[@gerardalker8288]

I listen to this song regularly and it still makes the hairs on my neck stick up ry is a national treasure ❤❤❤ keep rocking

[@MrRoundwound]

Best guitar solo ever

[@BYRNSEY1able]

[@FlyingOverTr0ut]

Still getting there.

[@edwardaw1]

One of the best

[@BYRNSEY1able]

luv this version, Ry's guitaring is just brilliant.

[@smeghead1001]

Happy 70th Birthday Ry.

[@namcat53]

What a GREAT video! VERY funny, hip and that band is just blown' the roof OFF the joint! Jim Keltner is cracklin'! Every one is just amazing. I want the song to go for another hour! The film is very well done; great cinematography, editing, lighting, etc. Thanks for posting this.

[@billmavin1815]

Ry Cooder is a genius and just to make it completely unfair he gets an all world band together

[@dougmclaughlin6991]

How did I miss this, thankfully not forever

[@pbstratocaster]

Best Music-video ever.

[@dougkanter4719]

His son (a great drummer with a band of his own) posted this on Facebook today. I hope we're not in for bad news. 😐 "It is with great disappointment that I have to re-schedule the California & Canadian run planned for February & March. My family and I are dealing with a matter that requires all hands on deck here at home. No doubt we will be back in your area, and then some, with new music and stories. Until then, thank you for all the support. -Joachim"

[@henryedwards6408]

Everything about this is good, very good.

[@mickholland585]

Like ry what a Rollin rythym

[@patriciakimbrell5688]

Awesome 😎 Love the Music of Ry Cooder ❤️🎸❤️🎸❤️🎸❤️🎸❤️🎸❤️

[@alexzannoni1501]

No better anti depressant song written😊

[@reedbender1179]

😭...Ry Cooder starts playing.😥..😲...😄...🤣 Music like this should be the prescribed meds of choice.

[@user-og2qg8ow9q]

He made this his own. Class.

[@scottrobinson9752]

I always loved this video, and The Firms Satisfaction Guaranteed. Just love the seedy bar atmosphere. And the music is top shelf.

[@rjwh67220]

I’ll watch literally anything with Harry Dean Stanton in it! This one is a no brainer.

[@reedbender1179]

Too good for words ! ✋👉✌👍

[@TheJonathanNewton]

Ry's playing at his finest - but it's really Harry Dean Stanton who steals the show here. How he can get so much emotion and expression into such a small part... just proves what a fine actor he was.

[@roybennett9284]

Remember when it came out...the beers were flowing

[@cokdnlokd1238]

WOW , Harry Dean Stanton, Ry Cooder this is really good

[@tommythompsonsurfer]

PLAY HIS GREAT HAWAIIAN MUSIC....,EXCELLENT......SADB MOST AND ME ARE PASSED AWAYS....GREAT MUSIC!!!!!

[@Quadrant14]

I love it that Ry Cooder's son Joachim, is the boy shoe shining, and now is his fathers drummer

[@giandoc5215]

..love this music......

[@ako456]

I heard the original with Johnny Cash once. That's why I always play this with Ry Cooder!

[@billmavin1998]

Magic word - "Original"

[@abarkema9]

Outstanding!!

[@GaryToop]

Nice to see old Harry Dean Stanton, too!

[@shadywilder]

This video produced by Michelle Manning, directed by David Fincher, cinematography by Jack Wallner, not sure who edited it.

[@davidweatherstone956]

Ry is utterly unique ! Gawd Bless Im .

[@ReginaldJKornblow]

Raise the dead Cooder at his finest. Wow. A million wows.

[@kenjhp]

this is MUSIC not the crap on the radio ..

[@saleclair]

When we were living in the Netherlands in 1978, it got a lot of airplay and the video was shown frequently . I don't know that the Dutch or the Brits got all the ironies of the video, or even that it was a Johnny Cash song.

[@fatClyde]

@@saleclair 1987 ? :)

[@williemyers]

@@saleclair Sally, yes the Dutch, Brits, Irish and Danes, etc. definitely "get all of the ironies" of the video. It's just us brain-dead yanks that don't cop-on! (so says one of HDS's fellow Kentuckians!)

[@eugeneplaud2131]

Ry knows how to turn a song into a symphony

[@DougAlder]

R.I.P. Harry Dean Stanton

[@DuneAquaViva]

Ry Rockin, "The Man in Black."

[@rzambory2938]

[@PeterS-lt6cv]

Unreal, lol. love it!

[@billmavin1815]

All the people on the stage are world class including Harry Dean Stanton

[@wingandaprayer]

My all time favourite music video - bar none....

[@Creaulx]

Only Los Lobos "Don't Worry Baby" compares.

[@franz335]

Music from hottest hell, I'm coming soon😁😎🎸

[@richardmartin1432]

Love the backup quartet !

[@valterivocerqueira950]

There is also the backing vocal by Larry Blackmon of Cameo, who i could almost swear i saw in a glimpse on the video...

[@1339LARS]

Gotta love it Always Ry !

[@aussiedadreviews]

Well, that's just terrific

[@philliproe204]

OmG woah!!!

[@StephenMWest]

[@olasride]

Perfect in every way. I heard it was directed by Wim Wenders

[@stephengardiner9867]

I have THREE versions of this! The original by Johnny Cash, this version by Ry Cooder and a version by Little Richard. This is the best of the lot!

[@TheRicresch]

RIP Harry Dean Stanton

[@PamJRam]

still magic after all the time & space

[@glennzornig4978]

On the August 2017 Guitar Player acoustic issue there was no mention of Ryland Peter Cooder. SAD!

[@shawnfoxfirth9684]

RIP Harry . .. .

[@MrBuckwilliam]

Happy birthday Ry and many more :)
