The Roots Of Ry Cooder.
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/...1000_QL80_.jpg
The title is misleading. It suggest Ry Cooder is playing along with the likes of Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, and Robert Johnson (!).Quote:

OK, but use of the word "featuring" is misleading. It suggests the listed 'influences', which Cooder regards as providing his musical roots, are playing on the record.Quote:

Well it certainly confused me! So, as a collection of tracks by well-known Blues artists, it's a nice selection.Quote:

might add the sound quality is very good.

Talking of "stunning recording", what is your opinion of Ry Cooder's 'Bop Till You Drop'?
The music and playing is great - but the recording stinks! It was one of the first digital recordings and it shows. The sound stage is as flat as a board, with no depth or solidity to the instruments - they just pop up and down, in and out like the flags on an old fashioned cash register, or the ducks in a shooting gallery.
Cooder was initially enthusiastic about the recording, but has since disowned it.
Ironically the CD sounds marginally better than the LP.
It sounds broken.Quote:

I'm not keen on Taj's later recordings - bit too middle of the road for my tastes.
Nice.Quote:

The only Nucleus record I had was 'Elastic Rock'.
I never regarded them as a jazz combo. Think I still have the LP, so will have to dig it out and have another listen, but I may have got rid of it.
I heard a few of there albums back in the day, and always thought they were rather good. Jazz/fusion and sometimes a bit avant-garde/freeform.Quote:
