Cooder’s second album was another trek back into the most obscure corners of American roots music. Dust bowl folk, blues, country and calypso got the Ry Cooder treatment, being recast in innovate new arrangements featuring various diverse instrumentation, but dominated throughout by his fantastic slide guitar work. Features Van Dyke Parks and Jim Dickinson on keyboards, Fritz Richmond and Chris Ethridge on bass, John Craviotta on drums and Milt Holland on percussion, along with various backing singers and horn players.
