Ry Cooder - Down In Mississippi

From "Ry Cooder & The Moula Banda Rhythm Aces: Let's Have A Ball", a film by Les Blank taped at The Catalyst, Santa Cruz, CA on March 25'th 1987.

Comment from MrBillindallas:
Concert was from a two night run - the last of nine total dates on the NorCal tour. Shot on 16mm film with an audio remote truck in the alley. Movie was released in Europe but not in the US. Great band, at one of the best venues in the 'States, the last two nights of the mini-tour they were truly on fire. One venue was so small the band filled the stage and the dance floor.

Bring me up to speed boys...What the Beatles got to do with this tune?...??This is Southron Blues: NOT British POP!!! (goofy bastards) lol

[nikolashian]

Чертов Рай Кудер! А как хорош! Настоящий соленый потный блюз - от корней! This is an authentic Blues! It smells like Blues & it sounds like Blues & it surely is.

since the beatles sang Rock and Ry Cooder did blues, hmmmmm.
