Rolling Stone magazine has dubbed guitarist Marc Ribot the “go-to guitar guy for all kinds of roots-music adventurers,” which seems an apt description given the versatility of his playing and the breadth of his collaborations. From Tom Waits’ 1985 Rain Dogs to recordings with Laurie Anderson, The Black Keys, Allen Ginsburg, Elton John, Norah Jones, Alison Krauss, Robert Plant, John Zorn, and many others, Ribot has again and again proved himself a formidable partner and a musical force in his 30-year career. The 19 albums he's done under his own name run the gamut from pioneering jazz to experimental no-wave, and he has also performed on numerous film scores, including Walk the Line and The Departed.
