This important work established his approach to digging deep into the origins of American music.
Their ability to interpret music from the past is outstanding, as they blend a wide range of elements, including folk, blues, old-time, and traditional pop, and breathe new life into old songs.
This album goes beyond nostalgia and presents traditional music as a contemporary expression, propelling Ry Cooder to the status of a "musical archaeologist." It's a masterpiece that gently yet authentically conveys the depth and richness of American roots music.
