After the Rising Sons disbanded, Cooder quickly became a sought-after session musician. His bottleneck sounds were new and unique at the time. No one was playing like him, and many had never heard such sounds before. In 1967, he featured prominently on Captain Beefheart’s album „Safe As Milk“. In 1968 and ‘69, he contributed to several albums and side projects of the Rolling Stones.

This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes. In all cases, without exception, we believe this is protected by fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the U.K. and EEA, and similar exceptions in the copyright laws of other nations. No more of the original than necessary is used, and excerpts are edited into long-form narratives, making the use transformative in nature.
