Ry Cooder is a master class in American music.
“I, ftathead” is a part of Cooder’s California Trilogy along with Chavez Ravine and My Name is Buddy. The other two are great in their own right but this one excels at very fine guitar work which drew us to Ry Cooder in the first place. The songs and lyrics are clever and wacky at times but the great vocal inflections and intonations give a splashing of personality that’s entertaining and fun to listen to. Cooder gets right down into his subject matter be it a dialogue with his Mexican mechanic about getting his Cadillac back or a country-light whimsy about a steel guitar heaven. The last song called Little Trona Girl may not be too fancy with words but the female vocalist is perfect as is the fantastic instrumentation. The first song, Waitin’ for Some Girl, however is what sucks you in, it’s great. Great stuff here, it takes you back when times were a whole lot less complicated.

Pure masterpiece with road movie feeling and a true piece of art with lotta conotations from musical history of one lost time. Unbeliveable record, most likely the best of Cooder’s, If that can possibly be said. Ry created a musical story which goes beyond the digital era, something like as If this was his first or last album.
