Marc Ribot’s Spiritual Unity was formed to explore the music of avant-garde saxophone giant Albert Ayler. The group featured bassist Henry Grimes, who recorded with Ayler. This band worked together for several years in the early 00s. Then, they continued their Ayler-tinged trajectory as Grimes-Taylor-Ribot Trio.

After moving to New York City in 1978, Marc Ribot joined the soul/punk Realtones, and from 1984-1989, John Lurie's Lounge Lizards. Between 1979 and 1985, Ribot also worked as a side musician with Brother Jack McDuff, Wilson Pickett, Carla Thomas, Rufus Thomas, Chuck Berry, and many others.
Rolling Stone points out that “Guitarist Marc Ribot helped Tom Waits refine a new, weird Americana on 1985's Rain Dogs." Since then, he's become the go-to guitar guy for all kinds of roots-music adventurers. He worked with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, and John Mellencamp. Additionally, Solomon Burke, Neko Case, Diana Krall, Beth Orton, Marianne Faithful I, Arto Lindsay, Caetano Veloso, Laurie Anderson, and Susana Baca. Also, McCoy Tyner, The Jazz Passengers, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Cibo Matto, Allen Ginsberg, Madeleine Peyroux, and Sam Phillips. 
Ribot frequently collaborates with producer T Bone Burnett, most notably on Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's Grammy-winning Raising Sand.
