The Ry Cooder Story

01 Beginnings

36 min • 28 juni 2023

Ry Cooder was an early starter. He got his first guitar at the age of four, was playing the records of his favorite blues musicians by the age of twelve, and was performing on stage at the famous folk club The Ash Grove by the age of fifteen. This episode describes his childhood and youth up to his first gigs with Jackie DeShannon and Pamela Polland.


This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes. In all cases, without exception, we believe this is protected by fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the U.K. and EEA, and similar exceptions in the copyright laws of other nations. No more of the original than necessary is used, and excerpts are edited into long-form narratives, making the use transformative in nature.
