I never died, said he

Today’s The Beat on the World Service is worth a listen for Mark Coles interviewing Ry Cooder about his new album.

The album is about what, extraordinarily, is now the forgotten history of the US - collectivism, Unions, the people who built the country (as opposed to those who got rich from it); the programme is on at 9:30, 15:30, 19:30 and 22:30 GMT and, if IP blocking allows, you can hear the snippet I heard on Today here.

Cooder is on fine form at the moment. If it's anything like as good as Chavez Ravine it'll be absolutely fantastic.

Freeview gizmo duly set, ta.

I confess I wasn't at all taken with the track from My Name is Buddy that they played on Late Junction, but since I'm a Cooder completist, I've ordered it anyway.
