Reprise

Ry Cooder is an American guitarist, singer and composer, born on March 15, 1947 in Los Angeles, California. He is known for his exceptional slide guitar work and his passion for blues-rock and native North American roots music. With a career spanning decades, Ry has established himself as a respected figure in the music industry. He is married to Susan Titelman and together they have a child.
Throughout his career, Ry Cooder has captivated audiences with his unique style and virtuosity on the guitar. His ability to seamlessly blend different genres of music has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
Whether it's through his solo work or collaborations with other artists, Ry continues to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. His contributions to the world of music are immeasurable, making him an influential figure in contemporary American music.

Ry Cooder may have been an in-demand session guitarist in the late '60s, but what set him apart in his early solo career was his extraordinary, if eccentric, taste in songs. Here he explores the repertoires of everyone from Johnny Cash to Bahaman folk master Joseph Spence to Leadbelly with enchanting results. While Cooder's vocal skills are no match for his slide guitar and mandolin talents (the latter showcased splendidly in "Hey Porter" and "Billy the Kid"), he's an amiable singer who resists the temptation to camp it up, even when essaying such antiquated oddities as "FDR in Trinidad" and "Taxes on the Farmer Feeds Us All.
