Ryland Peter Cooder (born March 15, 1947) is an American musician, songwriter, film score composer and record producer. He is a multi-instrumentalist but is best known for his slide guitar work, his interest in roots music from the United States, and his collaborations with traditional musicians from many countries.
Dona Lola mentioned, "As a life long music fan I agree with nothing Ry Cooder has done here. His album Pull Up Some Dust And Sit Down is truly an awful demonstration of music. Really. It's a joke. Nothing I would want to hear a second time. Did Ry do all this in a single afternoon? I had most of his albums back in the day. But this is crap. Interesting production values. But you can't put lipstick on a pig. So disappointed."
