Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
It's no surprise that specialty stores like MoFi have re-released this; you've got the genius of RC and the flawless original recording and mastering by Lee Herschberg. Snag a pristine early pressing like this one, and you're golden!
The tunes are amazing. This is the best sounding album I've got.
Quite amusing, really. The majority of Ry Cooder's albums I own happen to be his contributions to Hawaiian music collections. It appears that each of his albums is a journey into a distinct musical genre. This one's a solid pick - classic country blues. Really diggin' the slide guitar throughout. And there's some gorgeous slack key work on that Mexican Divorce track too.
Alright, sure, I haven't listened to other versions of this on vinyl to make a comparison, and I received it as a present (I know, I'm fortunate), but Cohearent Audio, also known as KPG, which is Kevin Gray + Pallas, always equals pure joy, and this one's no exception. Thick vinyl, super quiet background, ideal recording levels, amazing instrument separation, vocals right where they should be, just flawless details. You can still find this at reasonable prices, and I guarantee you, Ry Cooder never sounded this good.
At this stage of his career, Ry Cooder couldn't put a foot wrong, and given the length of his career, his discography is astonishingly impressive. "Paradise And Lunch" saunters along with an irresistible bluesy rhythm that's downright captivating. This Canadian🇨🇦 vinyl is top-notch, super quiet, zero pops & clicks, and it's like we're right there with a bunch of seasoned musicians in some tiny New Mexico club, just for one special night. 🇨🇦😎
