[edit] Tom Waits

While Ribot's guitar has contributed to Tom Waits' sound on several records since Rain Dogs in 1986, it is inappropriate to say that he is "perhaps best known for his playing with Tom Waits." Ribot is an avant garde composer and guitarist who has always made a living as a sessions player. He has had equally long relationships with other composers and song writers like Elvis Costello and John Zorn. To highlight his work with Waits that way is POV that simply suggests that editor's familiarity with Waits and the personnel on his records. It seems more appropriate to just list Waits among the other artists Ribot has recorded with.Nepal Tree 04:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Taper unfriendly

Ribot appears on the dimeadozen Not Allowed list. It should be assumed that he is generally taper unfriendly. Wwwhatsup (talk) 19:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
