Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

For all the laudatory work he's done in rediscovering a panoply of artists from roots-based musical genres, Cooder's attempt to pay homage to influences closer to home, namely 1950s rock and R&B, on Bop Till You Drop produced spotty results. While Arthur Alexander's "Go Home, Girl" and Cooder's own composition, "Down in Hollywood", are notable exceptions, most of the album suffers from languor stemming from a real lack of drive or direction. Cooder's failed attempt to place Elvis Presley's "Little Sister" in a broader musical context underscores the gap between intent and achievement which plagues the majority of songs on this well-meaning but unsatisfying effort. --Wayne Pernu

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional album that stands the test of time, 13 Feb 2002

By	J. M. Conboy "combers" (Salford) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bop 'til You Drop, like any good record, never ages. It's one of those albums that sounds as fresh and new today as it did when first released some 20 years ago. Little Sister is the ultimate pop single; Down In Hollywood has a killer bass riff and a wicked sense of humour; Don't You Mess Up A Good Thing sees Chaka Khan at her best and if you want to chill out and get sentimental, there's nothing better than I Can't Win or the instrumental I Think It's Gonna Work Out Fine. Every song is a winner, and it will be in another 20 years!

5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth with bite., 12 Mar 2006

By A Customer

Ry Cooder is primarily a blues musician. This album is probably the nearest he gets to a commercial offering. The album was superbly produced on a digital format, unusual in it's day and the recording is exceptional. The music on the album ranges from light gospel to straight blues. I have not tired of it yet and I'm not strictly a blues fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is . . . very good, 12 Dec 2000

By A Customer

With all due respect, Mr Wayne Pernu don't know what he's saying. "Hollywood" is (kinda funky, but) painfully embarassing. The rest is excellent, and I've never noticed 'languid'. "Work out fine", "Trouble" and "I can't win" are outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of his best
Listen to David Lindley's guitar, Jim Keltner's drums, and Tim Drummond's bass. For sheer musicality, this will always be a brilliant (and innovative) album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cool
This is a great album with great musicianship and a great vibe. If you like this genre of music you will not be disappointed.
