RY COODER DISCOGRAPHY COMMUTE WEEK 2
It took two weeks, and I thoroughly enjoyed it--a nearly 5-decade run of great music, at a time when low-key virtuosic grooving, goofy wisdom, and down to earth moral indignation was much needed in my little bubble car. Sometimes you need a good long check-in with a master of something. Sometimes, as in every day.
I got to his most recent album on what would have been my Mom's 92nd birthday. She liked classical music and choral music, and maybe a little Dolly Parton, but I think she's down with this one. I know I am, and it sure made me think of her. She disapproved of the racket I started making in my teens but by the end I think she thought it was kind of neat, and had a Squids sticker on her desk.
