Ry Cooder - The Prodigal Son

The 11-track set features three Ry Cooder originals sitting along his personal selection of favourite spirituals from the last century. The new set further extends the deep contribution made by Cooder to modern music and culture that dates back nearly 50 years.

His latest album, The Prodigal Son, is all America, our spiritual, hopeful voices, our raw cries and our sly provocations, voiced through the songs of the Pilgrim Travelers, The Stanley Brothers, Blind Willie Johnson, and Ry Cooder himself. This is black and white gospel church music, our own history of the spirit, sounding completely fresh and contemporary, framed by Cooder's expressive vocals and graceful, elegant guitar work. Aided by his son, drummer and chief collaborator, Joachim Cooder.

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Fantasy Recordings in 2018.
