Solid Live Ry Cooder,
By
This review is from: NEW Ry Cooder - Show Time (CD) (Audio CD)
"There is so little live Ry available, it's great to find a live CD from a great era of Ry's work. This CD comes from the era of transition from Chicken Skin Music to Bop Till You Drop, with most from the former (along with similar stylings).

Classic Americana, Cooder-Style,
By A Customer
This review is from: NEW Ry Cooder - Show Time (CD) (Audio CD)
Ry Cooder put this incredible band together in the late '70's, combining the soul stylings of vocalists Bobby King and Terry Evans with conjunto king accordianist Flaco Jimenez, and Ry's own amazing slide guitar work. This is a band in the truest sense, traversing American music and bringing fresh, creative interpretations of songs like Woody Guthrie's "Do-Re-Mi", r&b classic "Smack Dab In The Middle", and the Mexican torch standard, "Volver, Volver". This album introduced me to Flaco, and led to a series of trips to furniture stores in Denver's Mexican neighborhoods--the only places you could find his albums,at that time. Leave it to a master musician and musicologist like Ry Cooder to find these talented people, and create something so unique. This is a live album in every way.

thrilling,
By Donald E. Gilliland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW Ry Cooder - Show Time (CD) (Audio CD)
This is a superlative live recording of Ry Cooder and his band in fine late 1970s form. Great songs and great performances by Ry, Bobby King, Flaco Jimenez and others. Not a weak track on this album. Should have been (or could be? Expanded release perhaps) a double disc. The fun is over much too quickly.
