Get Rhythm

Ry Cooder

A high-octane collision of Tex-Mex accordion, gritty slide guitar, and rockabilly spirit. This is Ry Cooder at his most electric and celebratory.

November 1987 · Warner Bros. Records

A high-spirited and gritty celebration of cross-cultural roots music with a restless, road-ready energy.
