Boomer's the BestI have been a long time fan of Ry Cooder's music. Boomers' Story has always been dear to my heart. Ry's version of Maria Elena is the sweetest I've heard, gives me goosebumps! Each song on this cd (album in my day!!) is first rate. Good morning Mr. Railroad Man indeed!!! Seems to me that there is a celebration of a great many important human emotions expressed in this music, and I think I am fortunate to have shared in it all.

Great album, but a botched reissueThe songs here are slightly "enhanced" - nice presence, rich bass, brighter high end - and might be an improvement over the old CD on some songs, but this reissue is fatally flawed. Both "Ax Sweet Mama" and "Maria Elena" are grotesquely slowed down, dropping a semitone or so and dragging lethargically. Also, several of the songs on side 2 have a good bit of crackle in the right channel. Stick with the regular CD. This is a mess.
