Ry Cooder

Date of Birth:

15-Mar-1947

Nationality:

United States

Profession:

With more than a dozen albums, ten truck songs and countless studio days in debt, Ry Cooder remains one of the most popular and sought after guitarists in the music world. He has taken a variety of influences, including blues, rhythm and blues, Hawaii, Norteno, and Vudeville, to create a unique voice on his instrument. “The sounds he makes and the images of those sounds evoke a scene that puts him closer to Zen artists and Impressionists than any other guitarists,” wrote Bud Scoppa in Guitar World.

I toured around for years, but the road was always a drag for me. I never made a dime. In fact, I lost a lot of money - it was horrible.

'Geronimo' was a huge amount of work. That involved 80-piece orchestras and Indians and Tuvans and all kinds of crazy people on that thing. That's a real circus, that score.

Who does this, at age 71, try to put a tour together from scratch? I have to say it's scary at times. But I like a challenge 'cause it keeps you on your toes.

The '50s was the golden age of music all over the world for some crazy, 'X-File'-like reason I can't quite understand.

I just feel that music is a great life because it's very rewarding. It's a gratification. You do this for yourself, and you also do this for other people.

I keep my mind on track, and I don't get mad, and I don't get frustrated. Well, I do... but creative work, it's a way of controlling all that.

If you're taught to hate and fear a people or a country, and it works, it's because of your ignorance of that country. You have no contact with it, nor do you know what you're hating and fearing.

Music creates complicity, and then you feel less isolated.

I don't understand the public, but I do believe the public is oversold and underrated every day. Give the people something interesting, something to chew on, I say.

Santa Monica, where I have always lived, is not a town where you will find storefront Church of God in Christ churches. So, the whole idea of gospel quartet singing is something I never knew existed until I began to hear it on record.

If it hadn't been for record people like Ralph Peer, the Chess brothers, and Alan Lomax, then life would've been unbelievably dull, and I would've been sacking groceries somewhere and probably, at this point, running a little 7-Eleven down by the airport.
