I, Flathead - Ry Cooder

[Robert]

Just bought this new Ry Cooder album. It's pretty cool.

You can listen to it here - http://www.nonesuch.com/albums/i-flathead

It is the third in his "California trilogy" that began with Chávez Ravine (2005) and was followed by My Name Is Buddy (2007). The album is accompanied by a 104 page novella.

There are tunes in the style of Johnny Cash, John Hiatt, jazz, etc - lots of variations and interesting stuff. I give it 3.5 out of 5.

I saw that a while back and was wondering about it, and the rest of the trilogy - looked pretty quirky, but I do like Mr. Cooder. Will have to give a listen, thanks Robert.
