Ryland "Ry" Peter Cooder (born 15 March 1947) is an American guitarist, singer and composer.
He is known for his slide guitar work, his interest in blues-rock, roots music from his native North America, and, more recently, for his collaborations with traditional musicians from many countries.
Cooder's solo work has been an eclectic mix, taking in dust bowl folk, blues, Tex-Mex, soul, gospel, rock, and much else. He has collaborated with many important musicians, including The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Earl Hines, Little Feat, Captain Beefheart, The Chieftains, John Lee Hooker, Pops, Mavis Staples, Gabby Pahinui, Flaco Jiménez, Freddy Fender and Ali Farka Touré. He formed the Little Village supergroup with Nick Lowe, John Hiatt, and Jim Keltner.
Cooder was ranked 8th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time." A 2010 ranking by Gibson placed him at #32.

"That's the way the girls are from Texas" is a hoot, the entire album is entertaining, "Crazy about an automobile", "Try me" what a bunch of classics. I've owned and worn out this album listening and laughing to it for 30 years. Ry Cooder seems to change his skin often, this particular one is fun.

Could anyone tell me the name of the artist who did the cover for this album? is it a famous painting?.

There is no such thing as a bad Ry cooder song, just a little different and anyone who has ever criticised his music for not being what they expected shouldn't be listening or considering themselves a fan. I have been a ry Cooder fan for as long as I can remember and have owned every cooder LP a few times over until they were worn out, lost,or loaned.
love at first sight
He played 634-5789, and I was hooked. By accident, I saw Ry Cooder live in Austin in 1981. If you like the Texas sound with a touch of blues and new twists on old songs, you'll love this cd.
Ry loves different musical styles...
This is an excellent album that is not like his jazz/slide stuff. I guess some people son't realize that many excellent performers like to change their musical direction. . . BUT SO WHAT??? It is great at what he is doing. 50's-60's DooWap not interest you? Buy a different album.
