5.0 out of 5 stars RY COODER....a national treasure to be heard again and again, 17 Nov 2008
By P. Clack "pete" (WITNEY, OXFORDSHIRE United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ry Cooder is one of the most wonderful guitarists on the planet.Anyone looking to play guitar should listen to him,because when it comes to tone,to texture and beautiful playing he's among the very best there is.The rave over Stevie Ray's,Hendrix,et all as great as they are no question of that RC is a master of his art.This anthology has a wonderful range of varying styles from a whole range of his albums right upto his 2008 release I Flathead,and it's all fabulous stuff,no fillers here at all.listen to the texture in his film scores like Paris Texas,or his take on Johnny Cash's Get Rhythm to the wonderful unreleased track Let's Get Together.You get 34 tracks for your money,all put together by his son Joachim,plus notes by the man himself.This is surely among the best releases of the year,certainly the best anthology.You've no Ry Cooder ? then this is one truly great place to begin.TOTALLY FABULOUS SET.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Ry Cooder Anthology, 30 Oct 2008
By G. E. Harrison (Cheltenham) - See all my reviews
For someone who has been making music for over 40 years it's very hard to encapsulate their career into even two CDs as we have here. This compilation was put together by Ry and his son Joachim and contains a good selection of Ry's solo records from his 1970 eponymous debut to 2008's "I, Flathead" and also his film soundtracks. It also contains one unreleased track the old Wilbert Harrison number "Let's work together" featuring Ry playing with accordionist Buckwheat Zydeco.

The two CDs present a good variety across his work from the acoustic worksong "Tamp 'Em Up Solid" to the electric R&B of "The Very Thing That Makes You Rich (Makes Me Poor)" to the evocative soundtrack instrumental "Paris, Texas". Inevitably with a record like this there are some missing tracks which you wish had been included (although my all time favourite Cooder track "Teardrops Will Fall" made the cut) but overall this is a very good overview of his entire career and will allow people to sample and then buy the individual albums if they like particular sounds/styles.

So why haven't I given it five stars? Well I would have preferred less of the soundtrack themes - which did get their own compilation in 'Music by Ry Cooder' - and 12 of these tracks appeared on the 90s compilation 'River Rescue'. I would also have liked a few more obscure tracks, Ry's session work and collaborations with other artists, but perhaps I'm being a bit picky. Overall this is an excellent sampler of a wonderful artist who has produced marvellous music throughout his career.

4.0 out of 5 stars New listeners start here..., 29 Jan 2009
Everyone has their own perfect, and lengthy, Ry Cooder compilation. This one, drawn up by his son, misses out some must-have classics - there's no space, for example, for the sublime "Everything's gonna turn out fine" from "Bop till you drop" - and it has a rather instrumental bias with quite a preponderance of film music. But as a taster to the great man's genius it successfully sends you back to the delights of the maestro's early back catalogue and lures you on to the more recent eclectic delights of "I Flathead" and "Buddy". Worth buying too, for diehards, for the previously unreleased "Let's Work Together". It would be good if someone followed it up with "Records with Ry on them": Taj Mahal, Emmylou Harris...
