About this album
Chicken Skin Music is a richly inventive 1976 roots album from Ry Cooder, in which blues, Tex-Mex, gospel and old-time pop are woven into a singular American mix. Built around Cooder’s expressive slide guitar and careful arrangements, the record moves from the protest-blues of The Bourgeois Blues to reinvented standards such as He’ll Have to Go, Stand By Me and Goodnight Irene. Its broad palette and deep respect for vernacular music helped confirm Cooder as one of rock’s most astute musical historians, turning tradition into something fresh rather than merely nostalgic.
