    Two. four. music. icons.

    On each and every tour Messrs Terry and McGee paid a visit to Toronto ON (usually to
    The Riverboat) and it was always well-received and a joyous occasion for all in attendance!

    Fashionista 101: I recognize the pair of Hoka® One One OKA Recovery Slide that Mr. Cooder is wearing.

    How? 'cause I've got a pair!

    No, the label is Nonesuch.

    Thanks. That's neat to see what inspired the new album cover.

    There's nothing derogatory in that word. It's just not in common usage now.

    You can't take getting anything new from Ry Cooder for granted, and Taj with him? What a way to start the year!

    I've probably mentioned this before on this forum... Anyway: When I saw Ry and his gang in Amsterdam some years back he mentioned: "Who's gonna do these songs if we don't"? Same applies to this one.

    I know. Previously I've been lucky enough to get hold on some great Nonesuch limited editions; the Dr. John/Dan Auerbach 2012 "Locked Down" was particularly nice. This one was gone within hours.

    The only Rising Sons connection is they were both in that group. A group reunion, which this isn't, would have to include Jesse Lee Kincaid and do at least a couple of his songs.

    Technically isn't Drinkin' Wine a Stick McGhee song, Brownie's brother? The text says songs of Sonny and Brownie. Brownie did write Rising Sun which I'd love to hear Ry & Taj do, but that's not in? :confused:

    I know - but we live in a overly-sensitive world now. In the video Ry even seems to wonder if he is allowed to do "Pick a Bale of Cotton" in today's climate.

    His entire solo career has been handled in that fashion: Mr. Cooder is the teacher and the World is his classroom, the largest one a World-class musician could ever imagine to have.

    All we as students need to do is have an open mind, listen and we will learn.

    By the way.. a little love for Mr. Joachim Herbert Cooder and his stellar drumming and percussion prowess and abilities!

    Wonder if he regrets covering Lead Belly's "Bourgeois Blues"?

    Ry doesnt seem to care about... well.. anything. Super cool dude. A gift to music and a gift to the world.

    Looking forward to this - any new music from Ry is cause for celebration in my book.

    Was lucky enough to get his autograph a few years ago after a gig - if I hadn't I'd be inconsolable now having missed out on the signed print. Sorry to all who were too late.

    Is there an image of the print somewhere?

    Not that I’ve seen. I assume it’s the same as the album cover, but that remains to be seen.

    I usually post photos of my signed memorabilia in this thread:

    More .. Signed Photos, LP's, PS's, Promo's, Memorabilia, Ephemera, Etc.

    However, it may be a while before I receive my Taj/Ry order here in the U.K. I’m sure there will be images posted on Twitter before then.

    New single! This is not the studio version. That is on streaming services though and is much better.

    I did a double take when I first read about TM and Ry together again. I thought Ry’s last studio album Prodigal Son was outstanding. I was afraid that might be the last studio release we’ll get from him. Not only is he back, but he brought Taj Mahal with him. This is one my most anticipated albums this year.
