Art & Inspiration Old Crow with Ry Cooder?

The movie "Southern Comfort" used Ry Cooder for the soundtrack. Interesting movie, about some National Guard weekend warriors that get messed up with some locals in the Louisiana bayou...

 

Ry Cooder has always been one of my favorites.First time I ever heard him was a guest shot on Taj Mahal's first album in 1968.Still have the album.

 

"Crossroads"

 

Cool piece< ties together in a neat way.

 

Ry Cooder, musician and plain cool genius!! Man that was a great production. Thanx for sharing that with us. If you folks don't know Ry Cooder, go to you-tube and type him in, and play the crazy, bout an automobile. Great champion of the ethnic indescretions as well. Viva La Chavez Ravine/Ry Cooder~Sololobo~

 

Buena Vista Social Club, one of my favorites.

 

Well here's the deal. This was a necessary move by the BLM. The problem has been around for a long time. People were destroying the lakebed. Groups were going out there to the lake and street racing (fast and furious guys) and tearing up the lakebed and all kinds of other stuff..Leaving **** on the lakebed that dig into racing tires.... There really needed to be some sort of control. I am sure theres alot more to it than I know but it really is a necessary evil....
I know its not going to stop me from going racing or even to spectate....Lucky

 

That was awesome. Cool article too.
thanks for posting, Gary

 

Very Cool ,Thanks

 

He score lots of films, especially soulful southern swampy stuff.

You aint even a pimple on the late great Robert Johnsons ***!

 

Its late and i'm beat.
Watching that was a great way to end the day.
Thanks.

 

He did Paris, Texas in the mid 80's. I bought a copy right after I saw the film. Rip offs from it have been used in ads and as soundtracks for news pieces about wasteland type places ever since. One of the first was a US ad for Memorex tape around '85 or 6, Leo Burnett agency.

 

Cool read, thanks guys.

I dig when music and cars cross paths. Reminded me of when this crazy old R&B madman stayed with me for a few days in my home. I introduced him to a fun ride in a roadtser, he had a blast, and I got to give a an old soul man a neat exsperience that he never had but should have. Good times...

Ry is a cool dude....great post.

Now where is that "Black Godfather"? Hahahaha....

 

"long Island,.....ha ha ha ha ha....the breeding grounds of the Blues"

 

Wim Wender made Paris Texas, although yes, Ry Cooder did the music score.

Wim Wender also made Wings of Desire, filmed in German, in Berlin, with Peter Falk (Columbo), and a really cool night club scene with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds playing live on stage The Carney.

 

The breeding ground for Stray Cats at least.

 

Thanks for the link. I skipped over this post untill today, I've now watched it several times. Great stuff, great images. Makes me like Ry Cooder even more than I did before!

 

Bobby and Lucky check out the cover page of the Travel section of The New York Times today and with a two page spread in the center. Congrats.

Yessss! That's a beautiful movie. Cooder has also done a lot of stuff with Randy Newman, another of my favorite artists.

That's cool. Does anybody have a copy of that NY Times they could send to me or Bobby. That would be cool to have at our shop. Pm me if anyone has a copy to spare...Thanks sodbuster for posting it..... Lucky

 

His album I Flathead is worth buying just for the artwork.....

 

Congratulations, that is very cool.
Check at your local Borders or Barnes and Noble. Some of them carry the NY Times. I would have it blown up to wall size.
