Ry Cooder - How can a poor man stand such times and live [Record plant 1...

It's always good to listen to Ry Cooder playing the old six-string. Good singer, too. I've loved his work since forever; we're about the same age. What I value as much as anything about Ry is his choice of material. He can sure find a great song in that huge pile that history provides us with.

This song has a strange new resonance these days, does it not? Man, prices are just sailing up over the hill like a coyote running away from a prairie fire!

Good luck, y'all. We're going to need it.
