The Ry Cooder Story

09 Show Time (1977)

40 min • 19 oktober 2023

After Chicken Skin Music, Ry Cooder embarked on his first major national and international tour. This episode tells the story of the so-called Chicken Skin Revue, for which Cooder assembled a huge all-American band consisting of his black backup trio, Flaco Jiménez's Mexicans, and an American-Italian saxophonist. The U.S. leg of the tour resulted in Cooder's first live album, Show Time (1977). The European leg produced several additional recordings, which are also featured on the episode.


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.


Written, produced and edited by Frank Schnelle
