Ry Cooder and his pal David Lindley are/were two GOATs.

When im at the Hundredth meridian get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy.

I am so glad someone else thought to post this! RIP Gord.

I was so hoping that Ry Cooder would sing for Gord , would have been epic

If you guys haven't listened to the Little Village album with John Hiatt, now would be a good time.

Salute!

Also the best name in Rock history.

Happy birthday. Awesome guitar player

Crow Jane Lady - sweetest guitar note ever

I thought Ry Cooder's birthday was 2 months ago on March 15th? This seems kind of late.

He's great but Wikipedia says his 77th birthday was March 15, more than two months ago

Oh shit - and we had a party and everything last night!

Happy birthday to you, Ry. Thanks for all the great music you've given us over the years and the way you've expanded our tastes!

There was a time when I had every Ry Cooder album. Then came the sitar.

Coming in on a wing and a prayer! Played that every day I was able to in the day room when I was learning to fly Hueys for my uncle.
