So I have this IPOD full of stuff, it overheats, and doesn't like Alexa. The weird, drug-soaked Stones deal played through it the other night. Ry Cooder is a multi-faceted guitar afficianado. We all know this. He can deal with anything from high profile british blues rockers, to South Pacific nuances. Hearing this, I thought to myself :"Self, is Ry Cooder one of the best slide guitar players of all time....I wonder if He'd smash Duane Allman in the face with a ridiculously high intonated guitar"? I think he might be one of the best slide players of all time, but he wouldn't smash the ghost of Duane Allman in the face with anything.

Is Ry Cooder the best slide player ever?

He's an amazing slider, that's for sure.
I have his "Bop till you drop"album and the original soundtrack from the "Paris, Texas" movie, like both, the former above all, but don't play them often.
The way he plays in the Stones' "Memo from Turner" is overwhelming. I don't know the rest of his - long - career, I'll have to listen to "Jammin' with Edward".

Ry Cooder was on the album version of "Love In Vain", but he didn't play the slide guitar, that was Keef. Ry played the mandolin.Eat Us And Smile
