Maybe because not too many people really know who he is. He get's plenty of love around my house and has for 30 years or more. That is a totally amazing vid clip. I'd love to have a copy of that concert. It'll be fun checking out those other vid clips that are on the sidebar. He Da Man....fer sure. )=(

That IS a perfect description of Ry's music in general, IMHO.
He truly is a master at that kind of music. Don't get no better.

Here's a guy named Jacques Stotzem playing "Paris Texas" by Cooder.

I've just recently started listening to his music, and I fell in love. I've mostly heard some of his latest material, Chavez Ravine, I, flathead as well as some of his older stuff.
What I think is totally amazing about him is the way he seems to connect to different musicians and styles, learning from each of them and adding to his wn style.
