Great bottleneck guitar work. I heard this off the Performance soundtrack cause I was in my Rolling Stones phase and that's where I first heard of Ry Cooder. This song is exceptional- a mix of psychedelicia and hard rockin' blues that blows me away every time.

When closing my eyes and listening to this, I imagine a guy on an isolated farm in the desert playing the guitar next to a fenced in cows, and one cow has a surprised look on its face. Then a circle of native Americans dance around a campfire and glimpses of wild horses running until the 40 second point when the song changes and then I saw a bunch of 19th century soldiers on horseback. Somehow the wild horses beat back the cavalry…maybe the natives dance had something to do with it…
