Ry Cooder recommendation...

My knowledge of his work has never been more than his participation on Safe As Milk...but I recently heard a performance at some folk festival from 1979 on the radio & it was just him playing a slide guitar.
Can anyone recommend an album of the same stripped back style ? 

Thanks.

I like that many of his LPs each go in a different direction. Paradise & Lunch is my fav, sorta straight folk rock including nice cover of Stand By Me. 
Chicken Skin Music features Hawaiian guitar masters & a beachy feel.
Jazz is awesome sonically, early big band Broonzy, CottonClub flavor.
Bop Till You Drop, straight 50s inspired R 'n R.
Paris, TX soundtrack for that tumbleweeds blowing down the highway, pour me another tequila craving.
Meeting By The River - Like if George Harrison never returned from India.  
Can't leave out grammy winning Buena Vista Social Club, old school Cubano/Latino party for sure. Cheers,
Spencer
