Summary: A Door Opener 2009-01-01
Comment: I come to Ry Cooder via Captain Beefheart and Little Feat but I had never gotten around to checking out Ry. This anthology for the new comer contains two things in abundance fun and variety. The fun comes mainly in the joy that comes from the musicians having so much fun while playing this music. These guys are having a blast and it shows. Granted my musical tastes are all over the place and here you have 2 CDs worth of for lack of a better term "Roots" music. I'm no expert at this style of music but I can tell when music is being played with natural expertise, Ry is a master guitarist and one of the best slide guitarist I've ever heard. The songs are about life and a very full life at that, this set was lovingly put together by Ry's son Joachim who has been playing and writing songs with Ry for a number of years now. Filled with wonderful songs that should have been huge hits if they had been released during the right time periods. There are too many songs to create a list of favorites, this collection has stirred my interest in Cooder's music to the point that I've already gotten his two latest "My Name Is Buddy" and "I, Flathead", and in enjoying them I've ordered a number of his early stuff. This collection is a door opener into the world of Ry Cooder, once you get it you'll want more.

Summary: Ry, yes ... but left of center 2008-12-02
Comment: Ry Cooder over the last five years has delivered spectacular music ... but remember - the UFO album is an anthology collection. Unfortunately, mixed in among the pearls in UDO are some early year clinkers ... and have the remote control for fast forward handy.

Summary: The Best! 2008-11-23
Comment: If you are tired of the same old homogenized, formula music for the masses, you owe it to yourself to check out this superb double disc retrospective. Not a clunker here. My only quibble is that some of my Cooder favorites aren't here. Probably an issue with one of his labels. Otherwise, these are 2 discs you will never tire of!

Summary: An excellent compilation, a superlative introduction 2008-11-19
Comment: This is a first-rate compilation and the best possible introduction to Mr. Cooder's music one could ask for. The selection, sequencing, artwork and packaging are in line with Rhino's usual high standards. This would make an ideal gift for the Roots music fan in your life. "Chicken Skin Music" indeed!

Summary: CATCHER IN THE RY..... 2008-11-15
Comment: Ry Cooder has been around a long time and has released many albums/c d's,and contributed as a session man and producer.His music is varied and Ry has explored many different styles and tastes.He was even courted by the Rolling Stones as a replacement in the early seventies....So with that written this anthology/overview is essential listening and cuts to the best of his work.In my opinion many of his releases were a mixed bag and he often got lost in what direction he was aiming for to capture the listener.Case in point were his last two releases which I considered poor...."BUT" this anthology is very good and Ry's signature slide guitar rifts and catchy hooks are worth every penny!
