Wry Ry Cooder on a Martin D-45

The definitive Vigilante Man, by Ry Cooder

Although I grew up with the original Woody Guthrie version from the ’40s, it is hard to imagine anyone doing this tune better than Ry Cooder

And how about the bass on that early D-45?

Well early in terms of the first ones made since pearl-trimmed Martins were discontinued in 1942.
