Ry Cooder: Get Rhythm (1987)

First, I just have to say that the album jacket of Get Rhythm is terrible. Did they intentionally try to make Cooder look like a African-American? Or, maybe he is just well-tanned. The album isn't bad, though.

Ry Cooder: Crossroads (1986)

This is the motion picture soundtrack to the film of the same name. It's pretty good. I haven't seen the film.

Ry Cooder: Jazz (1978)

I am not a major Ry Cooder fan by any means, but I do appreciate his guitar work. I prefer his later releases, particularly Mambo Sinuendo. But, this is a solid piece of work.
