For all the laudatory work he's done in rediscovering a panoply of artists from roots-based musical genres, Cooder's attempt to pay homage to influences closer to home, namely '50s rock and R&B, on Bop Till You Drop produced spotty results. While Arthur Alexander's "Go Home, Girl" and Cooder's own composition, "Down in Hollywood," are notable exceptions, most of the album suffers from languor stemming from a real lack of drive or direction. Cooder's failed attempt to place Elvis Presley's "Little Sister" in a broader musical context underscores the gap between intent and achievement which plagues the majority of songs on this well-meaning but unsatisfying effort. --Wayne Pernu

Chicken skin feel allover this CD. Cooder`sk magic.......2006-02-21

The sound. The voice. In other word this is magical and overcool, and very relaxable music. Ry Cooder made this in the year 1979, and it still stand`s out as a CD which gives you the most. The "chicken skin" atmosphere kicks in already on track 1 Little Sister. It`s moody, with an atmospheric chorus, with great plinking on the guitar`s.
Track 2 Go home girl, it`s an atmospheric moody slowsong, with good airy space between the different instruments, to make this a little gem, so to say. Track 3 The very thing that makes you rich, have much of the same mood, as the previous track has, but it`s a little bit more up tempo beat.
Track 4 I think it`s going to work out fine, it`s an instrumental "diamond" with a soundpicture that delivers. Cool, yeah. Cool must be the word. Track 5 Down in Hollywood, is a minor let down. To fuzzy sometimes, but qualitywise when it spark`s it sounds similar to Donald Fagen and Steely Dan, and that`s a qualitymark for sure. Track 6 Look at granny run,run, has a funny tittle, but it`s more a sometimes "confusion country tempo upbeat song". Ok. But nothing more. Track 7 Trouble ,You can`t fool me. Well this is more in the gospel area. Sound`s okei, but nothing revolutionary. Track 8 Dont mess up a good nothing, is blue`s from Ry Cooder, with a female vocal from Chaka Kahn, which put some flaire and magic to the song. Track 9 I cant win, is a slow song. To slow in my case. Just minor details to pick on, on this CD. This is anyway "chicken skin music" with "chicken skin" feel allover. In other word`s Ry Cooder delivers on one of is best classical cd`s, made back in 1979, in the "vinylmania heydays".

"Toilet seat blue...".......2006-02-11

...was the way I think Ry described his Fender's finish in an old Guitar Player interview. Part of Cooder's genius was/is arranging electric and acoustic instruments in a way that's satisfying to fans of both. Granted, "Bop" is not a blues record and neither is the music it reinterprets. Still, Ry's open D and G comping is a pleasure to hear and learn from. But, for a guy whose prior records just "sounded" so terrific, the digital production sheen on this one was a disappointment at the time and, while fun to hear again after so long, for my taste, "Bop" can't quite take its place among his best.

Wonderful music all the way through.......2005-12-30

I've been a Ry Cooder junky since the early 70s, and wish we'd seen more of him in the last 10 or 15 years. Not that I don't like his "world music" dabbling -- it's really an extension of what he did for American musical traditions during the first half of his career.

Bob Till You Drop was a bit of a departure for Cooder -- not quite as studied as some earlier work, it sounds more natural to me. The tall-forehead types may have been disappointed. I think the musicianship is wonderful, the song selection outstanding and the overall quality truly exceptional. A great effort overall.

There are several high points, but one of my favorites is "I Think It's Going To Work Out Fine". I'm fond of the version Ike and Tina Turner did on their Phil Spector album (River Deep Mountain High), and I must say Cooder's is NOTHING like this one, or Ike and Tina's more R and B versions. To hear the Cooder and I and T versions one after the other is oh-so-sweet!

Buy it. And buy Chicken Skin Music, and all the others. Don't forget the one with the Indian musician playing a kind of converted guitar (I forget the name, something involving a river, it's great).

As some others have pointed out, this was a very early all-digital production, out early on CD. However, Ry has been quoted later on as not much liking digital recording, and had reverted to analog tape for its warmer sound. Might be why he bad-mouthed this recording, if he was embarassed by his early support for digital. I don't care, I still think it's great and the sound is pristine.

Still Boppin'.......2005-10-04

Not a critic, just a listener. But I have enjoyed this album for the last 25 years! If you love great songs, singing and guitar playing, get this CD. It was the first Digitally recorded "Rock and Roll" album.

Just As Great As I Remebered It.......2005-09-11

"Little Sister" and "Trouble" are my two favorite cuts but this whole album - oops, I'm dating myself - this whole CD is good. Ry Cooder is/was a back-up musician for many famous groups and this CD proves why, with his fine instrumentals and the variety of choice in the songs. I was not disappointed.
