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.

Re: Just Dead Celebrity Express Thread !
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.Count Steer wrote: ↑Sat Mar 04, 2023 4:04 pm A key part of one of my possible Desert Island Discs, 'Bop Till You Drop' and one of the greatest film soundtracks 'Paris, Texas'.

Re: Just Dead Celebrity Express Thread !
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.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 04, 2023 4:27 pmI remember Ry Cooder being more than a little pissed off with the sound on BTYD, blaming it on the digital recording process.

Re: Just Dead Celebrity Express Thread !
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.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 04, 2023 4:27 pmI remember Ry Cooder being more than a little pissed off with the sound on BTYD, blaming it on the digital recording process.

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

Re: Just Dead Celebrity Express Thread !
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.

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