Global A Go-Go presents:

Ry Cooder was born on March 15, 1947 in Santa Monica, California. Ry is one of my all-time favorite musicians and he’s one of the primary inspirations for the Global A Go-Go radio program.

In the 1960s, Ry played with Captain Beefheart and the Rolling Stones; in the 70s he made a series of brilliant solo albums that brought all kinds of American vernacular sounds into rock; in the 80s he was one of the top soundtrack artists in Hollywood; in the 90s he introduced American listeners to a world of music from Africa, Cuba and India; and in the 21st century Ry has continued to be one of the most vital musicians on the planet.

On this week’s edition of Global A Go-Go (Monday March 15, 3:00-5:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site), each set will start with one of Ry Cooder’s songs and then spin down a path he’s blazed for me and for all of us. I’ve tried to make the whole show as eclectic and rooted and soulful as Ry Cooder’s music is. Happy birthday, Ry!
