A sonic chameleon of sorts, Ry Cooder has always been on the forefront of popular music. Whether as a session musician (with the Rolling Stones, Randy Newman, and others) or a film-score composer (most notably in collaboration with director Wim Wenders), Cooder has succeeded in incorporating diverse styles of music into his personal sound. This self-titled 1970 release features Cooder in a blues-rock mode that also touches on a wide range of musical influences.
"Police Dog Blues" and "Dark Is the Night" are straight-up blues numbers that feature Cooder's incredible slide-guitar playing. "Pigmeat," however, finds Cooder in a different setting, exploring gritty Dixieland music. "Do Re Mi" and "My Old Kentucky Home (Turpentine & Dandelion Wine)" move in yet another direction, easing into a funky, lazy groove reminiscent of the Band's MUSIC FROM BIG PINK. On several tracks, Cooder is supported by the unique orchestral arrangements of Kirby Johnson, which add color and texture to this excellent outing.
