1.Boomer's Story by: Ry Cooder December 15, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £13.94
I cannot believe that there are so few comments about this album. It is, simply, one of the best. To go into how a copy of it turned up in a village in Somerset Uk in 1974 and changed my life would be too much. So, I'll just ask... No, on reflection, (too tired) I won't. I'll just say that it has a fantastic selection of great songs sung by Ry -- oh , so beautifully, and recorded beautifully. I am as far removed from a `techie' as anyone could be (see -- I cannot even spell it!), but when I bought my first expensive stereo in 1992, this was the test-disc I took to the shop. Mind, I also took `Sister' by Sonic Youth, which made the `experts' look at me with a mixture of dis-belief and un-belief, which, summed together, equlled distain. I am ... Read More:

Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.97 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.94
Pretty much as you would expect from a live NMA album. A good rock blues work out, more along the lines of "shake hands with shorty" than "polaris". Assorted friends and relations pop along to add their contributions with varying degrees of success. It's allways good to hear from RL Burnside, adds an authentic raw feel. Good selection of familiar album tracks and blues standards, played in their own inimitable energetic style. On the negative side the sound recording isn't the best I've heard, and some of Cody's drumming isn't quite as tight as it could be in places (the electric washboard solo is fun to see live but I don't think it really deserves to be commited to CD. If you like the allstars and want more of the same, buy yhis ... Read More:
