Ry Cooder - 'The Prodigal Son' (2018)
#RyCooder's latest solo album contains more gospel and bluegrass, along with some Tex-Mex. A few own compositions, but the emphasis is on traditionals and covers, that get the unmistakable #Cooder twist.

Ry Cooder - 'Tresspass' (Original Motion Picture Score) (1993) (2024 remaster)
This #RyCooder film score is even darker. Brooding, ominous and dirty. Thank the lawd for that #Cooder slide guitar.
