A distanza di 45 anni ho ricomprato Chicken Skin Music, uno dei vertici del formidabile Ry anni 70 e 80.Avevo l’LP originale, ma l’avevo venduto perché a vent’anni ero squattrinato, e per comprare nuovi dischi dovevo per forza di cose venderne altri.Quando l’ho messo nel lettore e l’ho fatto partire, la sorpresa è stata il riconoscerlo nota per nota, pausa per pausa, e mi son subito detto: “L’avevi ben scavato ‘sto disco!”.La qualità audio del cd è poca cosa, ma pur facendosi ascoltare, una

| | Excellent album and the SACD sounds fantastic | 2020-04-21
I thought I was only going to receive a Mobile Fidelity CD, but it ended up being an SACD that's also playable on CD players. I already have a vinyl and another CD copy but neither of them sounded remotely as good as a first-pressing I heard at a friend's house when it first came out. However, this MoFi version sounds absolutely fantastic; it's audiophile-quality show-of-your-system material! The sound is very natural and it's like all the musicians are right in the room with

Ry Cooder at his best - He never lets you down
| | Da ascoltare e riascoltare | 2018-10-15
Gran lavoro, con suoni autentici e diretti della tradizione del southern rock. A parte un paio di brani meno efficaci (fra cui una versione di Stand By Me che poteva anche non esserci e nessuno l'avrebbe rimpianta....), il disco si ascolta con piacere. Se dovessimo giudicare in relazione al panorama musicale di oggi, poi, sarebbe un capolavoro....

...nach langer Ankündigung hat sich MFSL nun den Ry Cooder-Klassiker aus 1976 zur Brust genommen.Und siehe da, die Zeit scheint spurlos an diesem Meisterwerk vorübergegangen zu sein.Frisch und kein bißchen verstaubt präsentiert sich die einzigartige Mixtur aus Folk, Blues, Hawaii & Tex Mexin restauriertem Klangkostüm. Bewundernswert wie Cooder bereits damals verstand, verschiedenste Stile inmusikalischen Kontext zu bringen. Freilich - wie wir wissen - mit Hilfe exzellenter Musiker wie Jim

| | One of Cooder's best | 2018-04-15
Ry Cooder is not a gifted vocalist, but in every other respect this is a fine album. "He'll Have To Go" (a love song) and the ubiquitous "Stand By Me" feature the legendary accordionist Flaco Jimenez. "Yellow Roses" is a love song performed with feeling, including steel guitar. "Chloe" is a pretty instrumental.

This is Ry Cooder at his best with classic tracks played beautifully.

This was my first Ry Cooder CD purchase. I will need to listen to it a few more times before I will know if I like it or not. No issues with the order or shipment.
| | Early Ry Cooder | 2017-04-21
One of my favorite american musicians, he has done so many great things. This cd was missing in my collection and I am more than pleased it is great "Chicken Music". Ry Cooder is supported with a lot of very talented musicians.

Been meaning to buy it for years LOVE IT really cheers me up.
| | Great Musician | 2016-08-01
It's a wonderful fusion of Texas, Blues & Mexican roots. Great players and nice and groovy melodies. I love this album because it huggles me.
| | This may be my all-time favorite record. Seriously. | 2016-05-12
Definitely a "desert island disk," one that I couldn't do without. I need to listen to this on a regular basis.Ry Cooder performs the Bajo Sexto, mandola, bottleneck guitar, French accordion, electric guitar, slack-key guitar, tiple, Hawaiian guitar, and lead vocals on this recording, but it's the other personnel and the songs they play that make this one of the greatest recordings ever. This is undoubtedly one of if not the finest collection of musicians and singers ever
| | 30 Jahre zu früh veröffentlicht | 2016-05-02
Mitte der 70er fiel diese Platte sicher aus dem Rahmen. Nach Buena Vista Socal Club und Talking Timbuktu klingt sie wie ein weiteres herausragendes Stück musical archaeology von Ry Cooder, das aus obskuren Gründen drei Jahrzehnte früher vorgestellt wurde. Coole Version von "Stand By Me"!

| | Très bel album | 2016-02-13
Cinquième album de Ry Cooder qui maitrise ici son art à la perfection. Son art ? Celui de conjuguer toutes les formes musicales américaines pré-rock'n'roll en un savant dosage plein et élégant. Pour Cooder, et il a raison, blues et folk, finalement, c'est la même. D'ailleurs, cet album s'ouvre et se ferme sur une reprise de Leadbelly, comme pour signifier cela. Egalement pour boucler la boucle d'un album qui va enquiller le folk, le blues, la country, le tex-mex, le jazz,

| | Apripista nella discografia di Ry Cooder per una serie di sonorità (il tex mex prima di tutto) | 2015-04-07
Grazie al talento e alla grande cultura musicale di Ry Cooder è possibile conoscere sonorità e generi alle radici della musica americana altrimenti non comunemente accessibili; in questo lavoro il risultato della ricerca e degli arrangiamenti del chitarrista produce un godibilissimo melange di Tex-Mex e musica hawaiana.
| | Cooder's starting to loose me with this one. | 2014-11-10
Sorry, but this is where Cooder starts to loose me. His attempt to branch out with accordion and slack key guitar ends up making most of the songs sound the same and his vocals seem more awkward on this album then the previous ones. The album does contain one all time Cooder gem though, a cover of Leadbelly's outrageous Borgeois Blues!

Ry Cooder at his absolute best.
| | This album makes you feel the music. | 2014-06-03
I understand that the title of this album has to do with the music causing the listener to get "goose bumps". And though I didn't get literal "goose bumps", I certainly did "feel" the music down to my soul.
| | A great record | 2013-06-11
Bought it on vinyl years ago, had the casette, finally got around to getting the CD so I can listen to it in my car.

I remembered this recording from when it was first released. I remembered its title with great fondness, and the song "Smack Dab in the Middle" is part of my "permanent soundtrack." Of course, Ry Cooder has always been a master guitarist, and Flaco Jimenez plays a mean accordion, so you can't go too wrong. Still, listening today, I must say the song choices (with the aforementioned exception) are not particularly memorable. I believe one might be better off with

What is Trustami

Trustami regularly scans the internet for new reviews and collect them in one place, in order to make them available to interested parties at a glance.

We want to make it as easy as possible for every internet user to look up products. Instead of relying on just one source, we provide a single point of contact to get easily all the reviews on a product.

Trustami does not generate new reviews and stays independent in order to make the internet more transparent. We automatically search on popular internet platforms and websites to find reviews and identify products. Our claim here is to provide a helpful set of product information that anyone can rely on. The aggregation of product data is done as good as possible and may include multiple versions of one product.

Trustami was created as a project of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) with the aim of making the internet more trustworthy. Research in the field of "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" at the Chair of Information and Communication Management (IKM) provided a first prototype that enabled the collection of reputation data. With further development and funding Trustami became an independent spin-off.
