Ry Cooder - Boomer's Story SACD MFSL Hybrid SACD, limited/numbered to 2000

PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE PAST AND UPDATES MUSIC FOR FUTURE ON RUSTIC RECORD STEEPED IN FOLK, BLUES, AND SOUL Original Master Recording from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) Ry Cooder's development as a peerless musician capable of grasping virtually any style began with his time spent with Taj Mahal and Captain Beefheart, but for all intents and purposes reaches epic proportions on Boomer's Story. With two ambitious albeit uneven studio albums behind him, the California native plunged into roles that still define him today – that of sonic archeologist and cultural historian, shaping his 1972 Reprise effort with enlightened selections carved into the bedrock of America's folk, blues, and soul landscapes. Inspired, virtuosic, and poignant, Boomer's Story endures as a ravishing portrait of inspired translation and inventive craftsmanship that after years of neglect finally boasts sonics deserving of the performances.
