Episode description
On this week's podcast, we dig into one of the most respected and understated guitarists in the business, Ry Cooder, and his 1974 LP Paradise and Lunch.
Cooder’s slide guitar has graced albums by Van Morrison, Little Feat, and the Rolling Stones. He has also written and performed music on countless soundtracks and is perhaps most well known for his work with the Buena Vista Social Club. On Paradise and Lunch, Cooder covers a variety of tunes from a variety of genres, including obscure blues and folk tunes, and even an Burt Bacharach song. Most deal with the up and downs of romantic relationships and feature Cooder's sly guitar and chameleon-like vocals. If you're not familiar with the song stylings of Ry Cooder, this is an excellent place to start.
