Ry Cooder is my new hero...this guy ROCKS!!!
I so enjoyed this interview! While I have been a fan of Ry for many decades, his growth as an artist always inspires. "Can I smoke in here?" blew me away in it's spare richness. I look forward to enjoying I Flathead. Thanks for continued radio that enriches us all.
Cooder continues `cool`..!!
Thanks for the great interview with my all-time musical hero Mr. Ry Cooder.
I'flathead is superb! Listen also to Ersi Arvizu "Friend For Live" and Mavis Staples "We'll Never Turn Back". Ry Cooder produced these CD's and plays guitar and mandolin.
