Ry Cooder. I have been meaning to pick up on him for years now, since buying Buena Vista Social Club as a uni. frosh. (Bought it the same weekend I saw Fugazi in concert. The only thing that kept the weekend from being a trifecta of music goodness was seeing the Promise Ring as well.)

Anyway, I want to get some of the older material (late 60s?/early 70s).

What do you recommend? How does his work sound?

Paradise and Lunch 1974

I like this one a lot, it's a good blend country & bluesy-type rock and I enjoy his guitar playing. I like Chicken Skin Music also, but not quite as much.

RIYL: John Hiatt, probably Little Feat (even though I'm not big on Little Feat), a more electric Townes Van Zandt, maybe even the countrier side of Buffalo Springfield

I'm guessing RIYL slide guitar. I've never heard much Ry soo stuff, but Memo from Turner is one of the best Stones songs there is. Though credited to Jagger/Richards, it is actually Jagger/Cooder, and kicks major ass.

Ry is also allegedly responsible for all the riffs on Sticky Fingers, but that's another, longer story. See Stephen Davis' Stones bio "Old Gods Almost Dead" for further explanatio.

I've only got the 'Paris Texas' soundtrack but it's very good and you can pick it up very cheap.

Ry Cooder's collaboration with Manuel Galban is pretty good too (the album is called Mambo Sinuendo). It came out in 2003 though.
