Ry Cooder has been a favourite guitarist of mine for many years – since I was a teenager, actually. He rarely comes to Australia – the last time he did, I was in Paris.  Damn,

But he can play just about anything with strings. and he likes to do exotic collaborations like this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=g0iaTsSHuWY –

and there are other older ones with Mohan Bhatt – A Meeting by the River  with the fabulous Ganges Delta Blues

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKE3gDpgd2c 

and Gabby Pahinui – sadly now deceased Hawaiian slack key guitar master.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Th-0LdjWQ 

And Flaco Jiminez Mariachi Band  (a really old clip)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUpZwW4C_NY 

And the Amazing Delta Bluesman Taj Mahal ( I’ve heard him twice down in the old Basement)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEw0Lt8xgcA 

And the Rolling Stones from the cult movie “Performance”  (in the 1960s for Pete’s sake) – Ry wrote the song and played slide here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP0zsWupANs 

That’ll be enough for now 🙂

Take your time and enjoy a guitar virtuoso.

DSO EM

A concert presentation by Algernon

Undskyld mit Dansk er ikke så god. Men bør du kunne følge kommentaren.

This is a concert I found recently by the Danish Symphony Orchestra and their interpretation of many of Ennio Morricone’s themes of 60’s Spaghetti Westerns as well as others he’s influenced. The lead in Danish goes for a few minutes. The concert around 1 hour and 20 minutes.
