Ry Cooder, legendary producer and superb musician, talks about his new album Chávez Ravine which tells the story of a Mexican American suburb of Los Angeles bulldozed to make way for the Dodgers' baseball stadium. Plus the usual great selection of the best in folk, roots and acoustic music including news of artists currently on tour and the latest album releases.

I bought Ry Cooders album last week and love it !

[Michael Messer]

I love Ry Cooder's music, always have. Back in the 1970s and 80s when our kind of music was less popular, Ry was THE man and we (slide players and roots musicians) all looked up to him. When 'Paris TeXas' came out......83/84 (?), there wasn't a slide guitarist on the planet who didn't include a version of 'Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground' in their repetoire.

Shine On,
Michael.
