When the lights came up in the cinema where we saw Wim Wenders' movie of the same name, we saw grown adults weeping. This is more than a band, it is a musical phenomenon. Such a synergy is rare in this day and age, and the vibe on this album is just fantastic.
Buy it and weep, because you have missed your chance to ever see or hear Ruben Gonzales, Compay Segundo or Ibrahim Ferrer playing live with the band again, but the remaining members still tour and the band is organic, progressing through the years with younger, equally talented musicians, so if you see a gig advertised and can get to it, don't miss it! This album has changed many lives... >>More Details |

A beautiful mixture of music from Mali, the most recognisable African music,and the superb guitar of Ry Cooder. If you only listen to one track try track 5, Amandrai. Put a do not disturb sign on your door, Turn off the lights, sit back and be smothered in the lovely slow and smooth playing. Any music lover cannot fail to enjoy it. Also try Niafunke and The River also by Ali Faka Toure >>More Details |

After hearing/reading/listening to this album absolutely spellbound, I was left with tears in my eyes as the final song, "There's a bright side somewhere", was playing. The brilliant musicianship, the simplicity of the music, and the expression of hope in this whole album, touched me so deeply. And that's what I want from Ry Cooder: to hear him and enjoy the sound, but also to identify with him, and to be taken on his journey with him through each and every one of his recordings. I can always trust him to speak directly to me through his music. "My Name Is Buddy" is no exception. Thanks Ry Cooder for being true on your journey, and giving me a legacy of music that never dissappoints as long as my ears, mind and heart are open to receive.

Thankfully the 80s hair metal duel is excluded from this album. Cooder's slide at the beginning of the duel is great, but the song then descends into something more suited to 'This is Spinal Tap'.
The soundtrack contains an interesting take on Robert Johnson's 'Crossroads', a haunting version of Lenoir's 'Down in Mississippi', the awesome 'Nitty Gritty Mississippi', great slide on 'Feeling Bad Blues' and 'Walking Away Blues', and wonderful gospel vocals on 'Somebody's Callin' My Name'. >>More Details |

....it's going to be. That is ....it isn't Buena Vista Social Club, it isn't Ibrahim Ferrer, it isn't Ali Farka Toure, it isn't Flaco Jimenez. But then again it's all of these and more. In particular it's more of Ry and in a bigger sense its more altogether. A commanding view with all Ry Cooder's talents of bringing together disparate elements into a musical whole. Every play pays off and the record gets better and better with each hearing. In some ways it reminds me of early spring backs to folk melodies on "Into the Purple Valley" but with everything that he has done since coming together over a long and fruitful career and adding to the disc. Quite possibly the best thing that he has out together for a long time and worth persisting with

This is a great straight rock album featuring some great musicians including Jim Keltner on drums, Tim Drummond on bass. John Hiatt of "Riding with the King" also contributes. All numbers are short rocky numbers with catchy tunes. Each track is great. "Every woman I know, Crazy 'bout an automobile, and here I am standing with nothin' but rubber heels!" stands out. After listening to "The Girls From Texas" you may take care to get involved with sweet Texan girls. All songs have a humorous side. Buy, you will not be disappointed. (Note that this has little to do with Buena Vista Social Club, which is a great album about Cuban music brought about by Ry Cooder) >>More Details |

This is the most essential of a list of essential Ry Cooder albums. If you only ever buy one of his CDs, make it this one.
I wore the vinyl out and had to buy it again and then I had to buy the CD. Someone borrowed the CD, they moved and I never got it back so I had to buy it again. The playing is immaculate, it is simply wonderful music. The Mexican influences are great and really bring an extra dimension. This is the culmination of everything RC did before and overshadows everything he has done since. Buy this album. >>More Details |

There are some real atmospheric classics on this cd - check out theme from Southern Comfort, Angola & Swamp Walk.
There's actually possibly too much variation however this shouldn't be too much of a problem if you programme the playing schedule. Best time to listen is either on a hot summer's day relaxing in a hammock or if you need to chill in a traffic jam. Either way, the playing is sublime & well worth investigating. >>More Details |
