THE GOAT! Ry is one of my favorite guitarist of all time! LOve his melodic sense of timing and articulation. ALso love that he did the Crossroads movie soundtrack with Steve Vai. His slide playing was epic in that movie.

[@aloisemason3044]

PHENONOMENAL..r u with me..Ry Cooder is getting it on stage and air waving his sound out to the fans around the world..thank you Ry..a LEGEND

[@jimihendrixfan7691]

I am 63 and your Cover has the same Quality as the Original played by CCR!!! Nice for me to see young hippies playing the good old music from the sixties!!!

[@crampoos]

I'm born and spent all of my 61 yrs in Croatia, Europe. Cooder became my absolutely the best musician, guitarist, character at my high school period. He has that...something. And his constant need not to be in front. He's The One in music to me. My point of all this: I've been a very good friend with a woman from Dallas, TX. And when we discuss music, she always wonders how she has never heared of Ry Cooder. That was. at first a great surprise to me even more. But, this will probably explain it all: just last week, she said she had a great time at Garret Strait concert in TX. Nashville singers like Garret are her thing. Nuff said.

[@markcarbonaro6524]

Found this while listening to Fats Domino's version - so glad I clicked on this and watched. A real gem.

[@aloisemason3044]

Tap dancing time..☺Ry Cooder on the move and no let up as of yet..what a phenomenal performance..That slider on guitar has not stopped yet..fantastic..Happy 2021

[@SomboonCM]

I knew Ry was a BAMF for some time. But damn. He can make it sing in a way that is all his. What a treat, and Buckwheat!

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

What a lot of people don’t know is Ry did the soundtracks for motion pictures, he did all the music for Crossroads, including the battle Ralph Macchio did with Steve Vai toward the end if the movie. & other musical scores for 36 other movies. You probably heard them in movies you’ve watched & didn’t even know it. Love me some Ry Cooder!

[@aloisemason3044]

Ry makes me happy. Others too. Legend.

[@jblock41]

Ry is great and has been so for a very long time. I will never forget his jamming with some of us at Reed College in 1967, when he attended college there for a year. Playing with Ry makes you feel like someone has attached strings to your fingers when you play and is gently guiding you and lifting you up, infusing you with energy, bringing you inside the music. He is a phenomenon. I only wish that before I die I could play music with him just one more time.

[@NYNick49]

Ry is still jamming just as he was 50 years ago!!!!! What an incredible slide player and talented musician. A true "musicologist/preservationist" in every sense of the word. Thank you Ry for sharing these classic songs from another era. Without your passion for sharing classic American (And Cuban) music, many of these tunes would have been forgotten through the years. Also,is that Clifton Chenier on accordion?

[@slowhand6565]

The best slider ever

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

What a treat this guy is when he's playing music of this character. Interesting here where he's playing a Strat instead of his generally favored Tele. Kind of ripping with a little more bite as opposed to the deeper more resonant tones coming out of his Tele. Could be a pedal... but the guitar selection is definitely influencing how he sounds on this one. Marvelous. - Ry rockin' some beads and the song has a definite New Orleans feel to it that can't help but make you feel better when you hear it.

[@lawrenceefrick1328]

Not strat entirely. He has gold foil pickups which came on cheaper guitars. They contribute greatly to his sound

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

@@lawrenceefrick1328 - I was thinking about the body composition - similar to what a Les Paul gives you vs. a Strat or a Gibson SG. And we can't see his amp... which is a major part of his sound character. Whatever the hell it is he's playing here... it sounds damn good.

[@konopelli]

Ry Cooder is an authentic ethno-musicologist and would be a national treasure, even if he DIDN'T play the fonkiest slide on the continent.

In 1972 I had a late night gig at a college radio station. Labels would send comp albums and I was on the look out for anything other than the classical pieces I was supposed to play. It was my first chance to behave and do the playlist as instructed. I failed at that chance and got listeners calling from over 100 miles wanting to know who that guy was that I was playing. Somehow his first album just connected. 10 pm to 2 am 5 nights a week, Ry let us all into his view of music. We were all addicted. This went on for about a year. I was lucky. I got on board early. So glad to see people still discovering.

[@melodyvalentine8779]

This man had such an influence on my dad who played in bands when he was younger, one of his old bands, who he still is old friends with made it quite big on the blues scene. I can see where my dad got his playing style from. I just bought him a Ry Cooder chicken skin music t-shirt for his birthday and he turned up today wearing it. I felt so proud that he's never changed his style in my whole life. I can't imagine him in anything other than what he wears. My friends used to take the piss out of me for it as a teenager but with the benefit of hindsight I now see he was just way cooler than their dads and I regret horribly not letting him teach me to play guitar. I'd do anything for that now or even just him to play something slow by Clapton and me sing. It's not gonna happen but it's a lovely dream of mine

[@chrisweir2544]

Just ask him, you never know...

[@melodyvalentine8779]

@@chrisweir2544 I've floated the idea with him a couple of times, he's got reynauds syndrome now so he wouldn't be able to teach me but he could play a little bit I suppose and I could sing. I'm really hoping this year he'll come to ours for Christmas and I think I'll ask him to bring one of his guitars with him. Maybe one acoustic for me to sing to and an electric one for him to play how he likes to
