Customer Reviews:
- Ry Rocks!: I love all the Ry Cooder cds, but this is my absolute favorite. It is the cd I get for people to introduce them to slide guitar and american roots music.
- Great old album from Ry!: i first heard this album about 25 years ago, and it remains as fresh as it was then. one of Ry's best!
- ...A TRUE WORK OF ART! BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE VERSION!: This Japanese mini-lp replica version of Ry Cooder debut is simply a work of art! Very beautifully designed with all the lyrics included and with a sound quality remastered to perfection.
This 2007 Warner reissue is by far the best version of this album that is out there; great sound quality, great packaging, great songs! A must have in any CD collector's library. A real collectors item of these guitarist, top 10 of all times.
- Available Space: This album is worth the price for this song alone, and you all have bought at least one album for one song in your lifetime.I first heard it, being a Leo Kottke fan,when my ears perked up as it is played over the closing credits of ' Goin South ', a hilarious Jack Nicholson movie. This guy plays with calss and style, you will not be disappointed.
- Good: I'm not sure this is the best debut ever...I like "6 & 12 String Guitar" a lot more, and didn't Charlie Parker record "Koko" on his first studio date?
But as for whether or not you should buy this album - yes, of course you should. I suggest that you buy as many Ry Cooder albums as you can. Ry Cooder has almost flawless musical taste, on par with Bill Evans and George Harrison. Anyone who has listened to those guys appreciates the integrity and ingenuity they bring to any musical situation; that's why Ry Cooder is as legitimate playing Cuban Son music in 1997 as he was way back then playing traditional American music.
