MP3 of the Week

Last week I was stuck on hold with TMobile trying to consolidate all my family's cell phone accounts onto a single bill.  It was a major pain. But one good thing came of it.  The hold music system played a song that I hadn't heard in years. 

I couldn't recall the name of the song but I could see the birght Yellow album cover in my head as the song played.

I was pretty sure it was a Ry Cooder song and so I went to Rhapsody and punched in Ry Cooder.

Sure enough there it was, Paradise and Lunch.  Man I love that record. 

I played the record on Rhapsody and the second song on the record, Tattler, is the song that TMobile was playing on hold.

The next thing I did was add Paradise and Lunch to the short list for the Top 50 which is becoming a long list.

And now I am making Tattler my MP3 of the Week.

I hope you like it as much as I do.

The only 'problem' with revisiting Ry is it can be a long stay. He albums are so rich and varied, as he's mined so many veins. He's really a serious scholar of any number of genre's, but he inhabits them all, it never feels dry.

Into the Purple Valley? Chicken Skin Music? Get Rhythm? (with, amazingly, the best video ever). Really, his entire body of work is something else.

From what remember, 'Get Rhythm' was the first digitally record album (pre-cd days).

Never really listend to anything else until Buena Vista. Now that I have Rhapsody, it is time to explore! Right Now!

No the first digitally record album was Bop 'till you drop ;-)
