Bop Till You Drop is Ry Cooder's eighth album, released in 1979. The album was the first digitally recorded major-label album in popular music. Bop Till You Drop was recorded on a digital 32-track machine built by 3M. The album consists almost entirely of covers of earlier rhythm and blues and rock and roll classics, including Elvis Presley's "Little Sister" and the 1965 Fontella Bass-Bobby McClure hit "Don't Mess Up a Good Thing", on which Cooder duetted with soul star Chaka Khan.

The first major-label, digitally recorded album, Bop is a nice set of moderately known to obscure tunes from the '50s and '60s (along with a Cooder/Tim Drummond original) that doesn't always live up to its promise. Cooder and his excellent band, which includes the rhythm section of Tim Drummond and Jim Keltner along with guitarist David Lindley, understand the material and are more than capable of laying down a decent groove, but something must have gotten lost in translation from what was played to what came across on the recording

Exclusively for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). There is always something about a Ry Cooder album that prevents me from simply thoroughly enjoying his work immensely. BOP TILL YOU DROP is the one album I have of Cooder that I have the "fewest beefs". Actually the only beef heard here is that the only thing to rave about - to me - is the best and most entertaining song on the album is the only one Cooder wrote (with bass player Tim Drummond): "Down In Hollywood. And even this tries a little too hard to be clever or funny.
