RY COODER I, Flathead (2008 Japanese 14-track CD album from the legendary guitarist, the culmination of his ambitious and fascinating 'California Trilogy', the last of 3 albums in which the singer & guitarist journeys through the real & imagined history of mid-20th century, multi-ethnic California, sampling the sounds of its barrios & byways, its nightclubs & honkytonks. He encounters the disenfranchised, the hopeful, the cheerfully strange & seriously nefarious, along with the occasional alien who races around in a souped-up flying saucer on the desert salt flats!Presented in gatefold card sleeve with separate Japanese & English lyric booklets + obi strip)
