He CAIN'T be Beat

Unfortunately, this was not embeddable.
But open THIS BEAUTIFUL THANG and prepare to be overjoyed with a lot of what really makes it all worth it.
As a fan of Mr. Cooder, I enjoy that they were certainly contemporaries, and they managed to break it down in the same way. Which is to say that I feel real nice.
Lowell is the real thing.

Heart and Mind.

Speaking of Ry, I'll be receiving his new album, My Name Is Buddy, in the mail any day now. Thanks to my aunt for the gift. I must remember to post a reaction/review.
I Understand that it has something, everything, to do with this:

Ry has become quite an amazing songwriter. Here's a sneak preview from the new album:

Ol' J. Edgar Hoover liked to hear the Darkies sing
But one man changed that all around
Paul Robeson was a man that you couldn't ignore
That's what drove J. Edgar down
He called up his New York Klan-boy friends
Saying: "I got something good for you
Get right down there to Peekskill New York town
And kill three chords and the truth"
