'Chavez Ravine' is a stunning record. Ry Cooder hasn't received half the devotion he deserves for releasing records as tuneful and as hearty as this. The man is an absolute hero.
This Album is a Masterpiece, musically, culturally, and historically! The slightly detuned guitar in Poor Man's Shangri-la, the opening song really caught my attention, the rest is a dream journey into the account of how Dodger Stadium came to be. Amazing piece of work. Ry Cooder is a genius.
I looked this up because this album, and this location, were referenced in the Harry Bosch novel I'm reading right now: "Echo Park" by Michael Connelly.
An excellent piece of History. You can't just get it from pictures alone. The music helps you feel the times, the smell of the air, the heartbeat, on how people with money force other people to bent to their pleasures of others. No matter what the cost. In this case, breaking peoples lives apart. being scalded to the wind.
love this cd...always play it in my car..my gramma was friends with lalo guerrero and I love los lobos' david hidalgo's contribution to this amazing album of an almost forgotten period of L.A. history....
I was born @ White Memorial Hospital, and visited Dodger Stadium, in the 2nd grade, with my Elementary School class. The Angels played against Boston....
I'm from Northern New Mexico, Espanola, Riverside Drive behind the south side Sonic, just as your leaving for Santa Fe, Chavez Ravine speaks to me…"brown & white, red or black, nobody should have to live on their back". Been to the stadium, nice ball park, like the Dodgers but some prices really are too high. Ry Cooder's music is class, very nice low rider in video. Sorry, me to, but it's really not a perfect world, ℗.
UFOs are an element in Ry Cooder's album "Chavez Ravine". I don't understand Spanish. Can someone please explain to me what UFOs have to do with this story?

+czgibson Indeed!
czgibson to me , Ry Cooder is bigger than Bob Dylan.
Well, he’s nicer than Bob Dylan that’s for certain

It is truly a unique record, really know nothing that sounds quite like it. I have to say I listen to it frequently!
I can't believe that I just a few months ago became aware of Ry Cooder. He is a musical genius. I love his music.

One of my fave Ry Cooder albums. Great to learn some of the back story. Thanks for posting.

The music, the car, the concept is so cool. 😎
Ry Cooder must be the musician that more had give to the music contemporary culture. And that mens a lot. Is huge.
been following Ry Cooder's music ever since "Into the Purple Valley". It's been a very rewarding follow.
Ditto
Love this record ( very interesting cover art too 👽✌🏼️).... Ry is brilliant !
Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Ry Cooder, Linda Ronstadt are songwriting legends in my book.
Great video

Next time you drive the 5, 10, 60 and 710 freeways, remember all the families that were removed from their homes. Refuse to drive those freeways.
