2.Discover America by: Van Dyke Parks April 01, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
By 1972 there was a mood of deep pessimism within America, which was finally coming to terms with the fact that the war in Vietnam was a disaster, ill-conceived from the outset and immensely damaging to America's wider reputation as an advocate of democracy. The exposure of atrocities such as the My Lai massacre had brought home to the US public the reality of the price to be paid for America's attempt to impose its will uninvited on a foreign country in the way that it had done. Disdain for the war had become almost a prerequisite for rock music by then. So 'Discover America' was at odds with the mainstream not only in rejecting (as Parks has always done) the sensibilities of rock but also lyrically; the calypsos here all reference ... Read More:

This was Ry Cooder's third solo record and while the first two contain a number of great tracks, demonstrating his great skill on guitar and mandolin, with "Into the purple valley" he really got into his stride, turning out a well-balanced record with a great variety of styles and sounds but a unifying aesthetic. There is a real Woody Guthrie feel to "How Can You Keep On Moving (Unless You Migrate Too)" and "Taxes On The Farmer Feeds Us All", as well as Guthrie's own "Vigilante Man", which Ry would often revisit in the future. He also applies the same kind of dustbowl sound to Leadbelly's "On a monday" and Johnny Cash's "Hey porter". The Drifter's "Money Honey" has a similar feel but more electric and this electric R&B feel carries on ... Read More:

I didn't think they made records like this anymore. Real music played by real musicians on real instruments. Quirkily written and arranged, deftly played, and with rambling but somehow sharply observed stage banter (Favourite quote: "Remember the old maxim: Think Yiddish, speak British."). Extreme genre-jumping, but it all is bound together by Parks' idiosyncratic musical logic. Probably the only record where you can hear Louis Moreau Gottschalk and Lowell George covered. He also manages to get his conservatory trained string players to join in on the chorus of C-h-i-c-k-e-n, a silly children's song that's turned into a funky, string-driven hoedown. Personal high-point: The songs from his mid-80s album "Jump!". If there's a remake ... Read More:
