Ry Cooder My Girl Josephine

A great version of my favourite (well, one of them) Fats Domino song

[@denisepage-demorst2284]

My 95-year-old dad thinks this is one of the greatest performances he’s ever seen.

This fella is an open conduit for the the pinnacle of groove. This is what Plato was talking about on the back wall of the cave. I don’t think the attendees truly realize how nuanced and brilliant this performance is and that is what makes it so great.

This song in ‘72(?) changed my life. I learned every song off the album. Thanks to Jerry Jeff I learned about Guy, Gary P, Townes and so many others. Thanks forever, Scamp!

I'm ashamed to admit that I was late in finding this musical genius but I completely agree. He knows how to entertain and how to enjoy himself. He's fantastic!

[@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.

[@stevehatchett6636]

Thanks for that...

[@draymen8754]

Ry Cooder has been making music like this for many many years.

[@islandgirl3705]

Love this!

[@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.

[@stevehatchett6636]

yeah, people need to expand their musical hozizon's....they settle for CW or what passes for CW these days 'cuz their friends like it. If she (thinks) likes CW take back a few years and turn her on to some Waylon Jennings!

[@MrKohlhoferw]

Came back to this version. By far the best!

[@pele2118]

Have you heard Sleepy LaBeef do this song?

[@FirstTolast-u2x]

I love Ry Cooder & seeing Buckwheat Zydeco on accordion made this even more wonderful !

[@PeterLRuden]

Ry Cooder is the man. What an awesome performance. And those shades!

[@jonathanpollard5351]

Yes arguably the best slide player of all time.

[@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!

[@sandyward5344]

I was born at the wrong time. My soul lies in this music. There's nothing like the Blues. Thank you for sharing

[@stevehatchett6636]

"There's nothing like the Blues"...Amen, sandyward5344..there's nothin' like it but more of it, I say....

[@BlueRivers]

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]

Ry Cooder is a legend and getting his sound out in airwaves..terrific band and other legends beside him on stage..awesome

[@brandytipene3817]

I'll skull a drop of moonshine for that comment. 🍺

[@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!

Nice!!! Thank you for the music in this horrible time. Jens from Germany

He is a genius on slide guitar. Different tunings. 5 string guitar etc. Merry Christmas .

[@allenkennedy6748]

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.

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?

[@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

[@sketchesinsand8593]

Yep. Sometimes way cool looks like not cool 😎. Your dad sounds way cool. Just tell him what you just told us.

I think that's true - in large part because he feels how much slide effect is called for, and doesn't exceed it in any give tune. Bonnie Rait has the same feel. Lowell George had it.

[@lawannacollins4892]

I love it when delusional people tell me who my god is or is not. Those people need to lighten up and focus on their God and no one else's. Its not like I worship satan like many Christians do....they claim Christianity while living by the Satanic doctrine.

[@commanderthorkilj.amundsen3426]

[@andydavidson4108]

All that I can say is WOW! RIP Buckwheat.

[@regunter6599]

I was at a show Buckwheat did for a corporation in New Orleans in May 2001, the company rented the aquarium for the night and had a great meal. The band played right in the middle of place outside. The concert went on for over an hour, it was amazing. I had heard Buckwheat on the radio and saw him on TV but they did rock and roll, and anything else you can name. The guitarist for the band was as good as it gets and all the band was. Never was at a concert like that, there was no barrier between the band and the people, they were as good as any live band anywhere. RIP peace indeed, he made a lot of fans that night there were a bunch of people, free food, booze music. I don't know what it cost to put on the whole thing but it must have been mind blowing.
