I, Flathead Limited Deluxe Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Roadhouse Country
by: Ry Cooder

Release Date June 24, 2008
Ry's unexpected trilogy has produced his best work since the 'holy trinity' of the early 70s - Into the Purple Valley/Boomer's Story/Paradise & Lunch.

His literary talents are a real surprise: the book and lyrics are hilarious, moving and very subtle. Twenty years from now they'll be writing theses and trying to track down all the allusions and o-mages. And his voice has never sounded better - at an age when most are paring back the material to suit a reduced vocal range, Ry has found notes he never had before.

The previous one (My Name is Buddy) was very good. This is simply great.

Release Date June 10, 2008
I absolutely love 5 songs on the new album, and the rest I'd rate as good-average. I like the concept, the production, the sound and the musicanship. Lyrics are often very witty and funny. My 5 favorites are: The Poor House; She's Lookin' Better By The Minute; I'm Watchin' the Game; That Mountain; Propinquity. These are all excellent!! The Kids Are All Right cover is nice, too.

when I purchased George Strait's 50 Greatest Hits I had the option to get this one of 22 more hits. Great music. It's amazing how many great hits George has when you begin to count them.

I, Flathead

CD-Charts > Music > Roadhouse Country
by: Ry Cooder

Release Date June 24, 2008
It takes courage to release a concept album, and something close to mad faith in one's art to release three in succession, as Ry Cooder has.
The concept album is usually an accident waiting to happen, so Ry Cooder is pushing his luck making three in a row.
"I, Flathead" is the concluding part of his 'California Trilogy', following 2005's "Chavez Ravine" and last year's "My Name Is Buddy", and it's a tribute to Cooder's talents that it's a match for either.
More than four decades since he emerged as an electric blues guitarist so highly rated that he turned down an offer to join the Rolling Stones when they looked for a replacement for Brian Jones in the Sixties, Cooder has ploughed a less commercial but hugely rewarding furrow as possibly ...

A superb reading of Buck's music that makes Dwight's version as necessary to your collection as Buck's original.
