Do we need to define all music by Genre or Geographically? This album proves great music can be made anywhere.

Dipping deeply into a richly mixed musical bag, Ry Cooder, on his 1976 release Chicken Skin Music, joins forces with legendary Hawaiian slack key guitarist Gabby Pahinui and tex-mex accordian master Flaco Jimenez on selections that range from Ledbetter / Lomax perennials Goodnight Irene and The Bourgeois Blues, to Ben E King's Stand by Me and a stunning rendition of the traditional I Got Mine.

One of our favourite Ry albums, with wonderful music to stretch your music-loving mind. Highly Recommended.

Condition

Record in nice solid condition, and sounds amazing. Too good a record to not add to the for sale list.

Sleeve a fair bit of wear.
