SamMApr 13, 2010Its Ry Cooder! With the Chieftains! It has to be a 10.

While this album sounds like the Chieftains playing in fusion mode, it is so much more ambitious than anything they’ve attempted before. Some of the music here is contemporary, though much of it is over a century old; yet it reaches past its settings into the present day, telling of the indelibly rich meeting of two cultures oppressed by a third.
-
This is a transatlantic musical campaign whose virtuosity, verve and sheer eccentric heart make it hard to resist.

This project may be too esoteric for some, but it’s a vital reminder of a history long forgotten.
