An innovative work that revives traditional American music using modern techniques.
As the title suggests, this album utilized the latest digital recording technology at the time, yet retained the essence of blues and R&B. Cooder's slide guitar is still vibrant, and the blend of old and new techniques is a beautiful one. This is a historically important work that demonstrates the compatibility of musical tradition and technological innovation.
