Ryland Peter Cooder (born March 15, 1947) is an American musician, songwriter, film score composer, record producer, and writer. He is a multi-instrumentalist but is best known for his slide guitar work, his interest in traditional music, and his collaborations with traditional musicians from many countries.
It is safe to say that Ry Cooder has been a part of many great collaborations during his career, but just off the top spot of this list is this somewhat overlooked masterpiece that he recorded with the Irish folk group The Chieftains in 1995 taken from the album The Long Black Veil.
