Ry Cooder - Volver Volver

Here's Ry Cooder and the Chicken Skin band with Volver Volver at the Markthalle, Hamburg in 1977 - recorded for the German TV Show Rockpalast (credits at the end). Looking at Flaco Jimenez, it might be hard to believe that he has such a sweet voice. Pat Rizzo's also pretty sweet on sax. This song, by the way, was written by F.Z. Maldonado... Ry Cooder - Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Vocals; Flaco Jimenez - Accordion; Isaac Garcia - Drums; Henry "Big Red" Ojeda - Bass; Jesse Ponce - Bajo Sexto; Pat Rizzo - Alto Sax; Singers: Eldridge King; Terry Evans; Bobby King. www.rycooderstuff.co.uk

I've been looking for this cut for 20 years! Thanks for posting!

[owennnnnnnnnn]

could use about twice as much flaco, and 100% less of cooder's shirt, but this is a really good version.

Brings back old memories, what a band that was indeed !

Always better performing live than studio recording, very special.

And this one of their greatest songs, Flaco at his very best.

Thanks for uploading.
