It adds up to a light-hearted, sometimes poignant elegy for the American working man and his music.
-
Musically, Cooder employs the pitch-perfect instrumentation that he's famous for.

Although serious themes are threaded throughout, it's light compared with Cooder's last work, the "Chavez Ravine" account of cultural displacement, politics and baseball. Maybe for that very reason, this is a better listen.
