Album Notes Guitarist Cooder was a respected session musician prior to launching a solo career. His distinctive style blossomed fully on this, his second album, which is a brilliant compendium of American country/folk styles. Tight but sparse accompaniment takes the artist through songs largely drawn from the Dustbowl Ballads of the Depression era, including Woody Guthrie's "Vigilante Man" and Leadbelly's "On A Monday."Traditional songs like "Billy the Kid" nestle next to more contemporary fare like Johnny Cash's "Hey Porter" and wildcard entries like a cover of Bahamanian guitarist Joseph Spence's "Great Dream from Heaven." Cooder's ungainly voice captures the plaintive, retro-styled atmosphere, but it is his chilling slide guitar work (not to mention his facility with mandolin, Hawaiian slack key guitar, and other stringed instruments) for which this album is renowned. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please note I use eBay's "pre-filled listing" information because I believe using it is necessary for success on eBay at this time. However, at times eBay's "pre-filled information" is sometimes wrong. I take photos of the front booklet, CD and back page. If you have any questions please email me.
All of my CD's are 100% original. I do not sell CD-R or fake CD's. Many of the CD’s are club editions, please look at the pictures. I also do not sell Chinese or Russian knockoffs. The pictures are of the actual CD and the CD is available.
Many of the CD's were purchased over the years from used CD stores which may have polished or buffed the CD's to look like new. For most of them I am unable to tell which ones have been polished as they look like new to me.
Thank you for looking at my listings! I have thousands of CD's to list yet, so do check back often, make me one of your favorite sellers. Please feel free to ask any questions. I strive for this to be a positive sale for both of us.
