A key part of one of my possible Desert Island Discs, 'Bop Till You Drop' and one of the greatest film soundtracks 'Paris, Texas'. RIP dude.

I remember Ry Cooder being more than a little pissed off with the sound on BTYD, blaming it on the digital recording process. After that I think he went back to analogue for all his subsequent recordings. I'd also have to add the 'Get Rhythm' album to your two picks, although that didn't fearure David Lindley.

Yup. 'Get Rhythm' is a fine album but if we're including non-Lindley albums then 'Borderline' edges it, for me. 'Crazy 'Bout an Automobile' is a highlight but every track is a gem.

Yeah,Cooder swore 'never again' after Bop. I still loved it though. He and Lindley loved all those cheap/barely tuneable instruments,a tip of the hat to roots,when folk couldn't afford 10k Martins/Fenders and boutique was a clothes shop.

I enjoy Cooder's more recent stuff too,such as Prodigal Son.

Interesting about the over 'Bop'. I can't say I ever had any conniptions about the recording when I first bought it on vinyl or when I got the CD. It might be a little 'muddy' or 'bassy' I suppose but tbh the music just shines through.

I think it was 'too clean' and sterile sounding for a something released by a walking roots encyclopaedia. Needz moar patina. Maybe be came dangerously close to being commercial too. The horror.

Ah...yes, the horror of creating something that attracted more fans.

It's true, it's more 'accessible' but it's still a mighty fine record.
