Product Description

Chronique amazon.fr

Ry Cooder semble tout connaître de la musique, de ses secrets. Aussi savoir tout faire. C'est simple, il s'intéresse à tous les instruments (de la mandoline à la steel guitar, la liste est trop longue pour cette chronique) et tous les genres (du hillbilly à la world) auxquels il s'est essayé avec tout le monde (les Stones, Taj Mahal, Captain Beefheart, Compay Segundo). Mais Cooder n'aime rien plus que de jouer sur ses propres disques, entouré de quelques amis, des "musician's musician" comme disent les américains. Réalisé en 1972, son troisième album Boomer's Story ne fait pas exception à la règle et convie Randy Newman à la table. Si vous aimez la guitare, vous allez être servi! Ne serait-ce que pour la version instrumental de "Dark End Of The Street", ce disque est un classique. --Hervé Comte

Album Description

MIKE ALLEN (BURLINGTON, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Boomer's Story (Audio CD)

Ry's formula is interesting: pick some great old rootsy folk
songs that most people have forgotten about. Surround yourself
with some ace musicians (i.e. Jim Keltner, Jim Dickinson, and cameos
by Randy Newman and Sleepy John Estes). Come up with some soulful
arrangements. And do some might fine picking yourself. I've listened to this album several times and am in no danger of getting tired of it.

Jorge Barbarosa "the_bassist" (the back 9) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Boomer's Story (Audio CD)

I love this release, the bass lines are great... Of course Ry needs no introduction, he's always up front and sassy. If you have ever heard the likes of say John Hartford's Aeroplane... I would put the bass playin on par with Randy Scruggs (on the Aeroplane release). I can't recall the bassist here but there was this old funky, country... progressive newgrass kind of style, that you still hear, but this (along with Randy Scruggs of Hartford's aeroplane) and the New Grass Revival Releases are great examples of this style... maybe it was an offshoot of The Band's Rick Danko or Goose Creek Symphony or some other such... but it's unique.
"Crow Black Chicken" is a favorite cut, heck the whole release is real good. I bought it years ago on LP, scratched it all up, found another LP at a Flea Market then FINALLY, and thank you Ry, a CD came out. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Boomer's the Best, Aug 28 2000

Loppetear (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Boomer's Story (Audio CD)

I have been a long time fan of Ry Cooder's music. Boomers' Story has always been dear to my heart. Ry's version of Maria Elena is the sweetest I've heard, gives me goosebumps! Each song on this cd (album in my day!!) is first rate. Good morning Mr. Railroad Man indeed!!! Seems to me that there is a celebration of a great many important human emotions expressed in this music, and I think I am fortunate to have shared in it all. I saw Ry Cooder in a few small venue performances in the 70's and came away with an enlightened feeling that has stayed with me through the years. This is real art, folks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great songs and some incredible guitar playing
I had never heard of Ry Cooder until I found out he did the soundtrack for the movie "Crossroads". I immediately bought this album and it's one of my favorites. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars one of his best early works
richly textured, this recording is a prime example of the future soundtrack work and the cultural melting pot that cooder has refined into an ecclectic style all his own. Read more
