Editorial Review: Product Description: Visionary, Grammy-winning guitar legend, composer, and producer Ry Cooder's epic musical journey has explored the realms of rock, blues, country, folk, Hawaiian, Latin, Tuvan throat singing, jazz, and Tex-Mex-to name a few. On 'The UFO Has Landed', Rhino celebrates four decades of his eclectic output with a 2-CD 34 track collection of his work as a solo artist, collaborator, and soundtrack composer. Spanning 38 years- from Cooder's self titled 1970 debut to his 2008 album 'I, Flathead'- the anthology includes his most memorable selections as well as one previously unreleased track.

![]() Rating: - A Door OpenerI come to Ry Cooder via Captain Beefheart and Little Feat but I had never gotten around to checking out Ry.

Rating: - The Best!If you are tired of the same old homogenized, formula music for the masses, you owe it to yourself to check out this superb double disc retrospective. Not a clunker here.

Rating: - An excellent compilation, a superlative introductionThis is a first-rate compilation and the best possible introduction to Mr. Cooder's music one could ask for. The selection, sequencing, artwork and packaging are in line with Rhino's usual high standards. This would make an ideal gift for the Roots music fan in your life. "Chicken Skin Music" indeed! Rating: - CATCHER IN THE RY.....Ry Cooder has been around a long time and has released many albums/c d's,and contributed as a session man and producer.His music is varied and Ry has explored many different styles and tastes.He was even courted by the Rolling Stones as a replacement in the early seventies....So with that written this anthology/overview is essential listening and cuts to the best of his work.In my opinion many of his releases were a mixed bag and he often got lost in what direction he was aiming for to capture the ...
