Ryland Peter "Ry" Cooder (born March 15, 1947) is an American musician, songwriter, film score composer, and record producer. He is a multi-instrumentalist but is best known for his slide guitar work, his interest in roots music from the United States, and his collaborations with traditional musicians from many countries.
Cooder's solo work has been eclectic, encompassing many genres. He has collaborated with many musicians, notably including Captain Beefheart, Ali Farka Touré, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Neil Young, Randy Newman, David Lindley, The Chieftains, and The Doobie Brothers, Carla Olson & the Textones (both on record and in film). He briefly formed a band named Little Village. He produced the Buena Vista Social Club album (1997), which became a worldwide hit. Wim Wenders directed the documentary film of the same name (1999), which was nominated for an Academy Award in 2000.
Cooder was ranked eighth on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" (David Fricke's Picks). A 2010 ranking by Gibson placed him at number 32.
Ry Cooder is the eponymous debut album by roots rock musician Ry Cooder, released in 1970.
Dark Was the Night is the twentieth compilation release benefiting the Red Hot Organization, an international charity dedicated to raising funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS. Featuring exclusive recordings by a number of independent artists and production by Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National, the compilation was released on 16 February 2009 (UK) and 17 February (US) as a double CD, three vinyl LPs, or as a digital download. John Carlin, the founder of the Red Hot Organization, was the executive producer for the album. The title is derived from the Blind Willie Johnson song "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground", which is covered on this collection by the Kronos Quartet.
John Carlin and Aaron Dessner approached Martin Mills and Richard Russell of Beggars Group with the idea for the album. Their selection of artists to include was an attempt to “capture this musical renaissance, which may not have the cultural impact of grunge or punk, but is equally significant from a cultural and creative standpoint…these artists are not fringe or marginal.” The American folk roots of the compilation are acknowledged in the title and exemplified by tracks such as the cover of Bob Dylan’s “I Was Young When I Left Home.” Production of the album was focused on supporting the Red Hot Organization, as Dessner says “a lot of the artists wouldn’t take the money…Beggars agreed to be really transparent about how it’s done, so as much money flows to the charity side as possible.”
Dark Was the Night is a 2014 thriller film directed and produced by Jack Heller, and written by Tyler Hisel. It stars Kevin Durand, Lukas Haas and Bianca Kajlich.
A never-before-seen evil is unleashed on the small, isolated town of Maiden Woods when a logging company sets up shop in the neighboring woods, and the town's only hope is their local sheriff (Durand) and his trusted deputy (Haas).
Tyler Hisel's screenplay for The Trees (later to become Dark Was the Night) was included in the 2009 Hollywood Blacklist (the annual list of the top 100 screenplays). The film is loosely based on the real-life events that unfolded in Topsham, England in 1855, known as The Devil's Footprints. The small town woke to find freshly fallen snow and biped hoof prints tracing the landscape. Dark Was the Night is said to tell the story of a present-day community's reaction to a similar event.
"Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" is a gospel blues song written and performed by American musician Blind Willie Johnson and recorded in 1927. The song is primarily an instrumental featuring Johnson's self-taught bottleneck slide guitar and picking style accompanied by his vocalizations of humming and moaning. It has the distinction of being one of 27 samples of music included on the Voyager Golden Record, launched into space in 1977 to represent the diversity of life on Earth. The song has been highly praised and covered by numerous musicians and is featured on the soundtracks of several films.
Born in 1897, Johnson taught himself how to play guitar and dedicated his life to blues and gospel music, playing for people on street corners and in mission halls. Columbia Records had a field unit that traveled to smaller towns to record local talent. Johnson recorded 30 songs for them at five sessions between 1927 and 1930. Among the first of these was "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground".
Dark Was the Night by Blind Willie Johnson is one of Ry Cooder's favorites. He has often said he warms up half an hour just to loosen up enough to play the song. Blind Willie Johnson's composition, Dark Was The Night--Cold Was The Ground, was included on a golden record that was sent in the Voyager space probe. The hymn from which Blind Willie Johnson's derived this song comes from the story about Christ...his suffering, pain & crucifixion. This is a masterpiece for any slide blue's enthusiast. Enjoy!
This "Blind Willie Johnson" slide masterpiece, was sent into the outer solar system on the Voyager7 spacecraft as a collection of Earth sounds just in case any extraterrestrials that were encountered had a hinkling for the blues. Played by Ry Cooder.

"'Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground' is a gospel-blues song written and performed by American musician Blind Willie Johnson and recorded in 1927...It has the distinction of being one of 27 samples of music included on the Voyager Golden Record, launched into space in 1977 to represent the diversity of life on Earth. 'Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground' was chosen as the human expression of loneliness...Although Johnson's vocals are indiscernible, several sources indicate the subject of the song is the crucifixion of Christ."
Blind Willie Johnson plays and hums "Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground" on Columbia 14303-D. Blind" Willie Johnson lived from 1897 to 1945. This African-American singer and guitarist was a pioneer in mixing blues and spirituals. Lyrics of all his songs were religious, but his music drew from both sacred and blues traditions. He was one of the greatest slide (bottleneck) guitarists of his generation. When singing, he sometimes used a gravelly false-bass voice, but other times he makes use of a tenor voice.
