Late night Cooder

"Bop till you drop" was the first digitally recorded album, back in 1978. It's interesting to me that a performer like Ry Cooder, who is so much about the feel and pulse of music, rather than any expression of technique, would be the first artist to cross that line. The album itself is, of course, amazing, and has in Cooder and David Lindley two of my all time favorite and biggest influential guitar players.

This song turned me onto Cooder when I was younger, and was the only thing of his I had heard until I went to college.
