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, The Prodigal Son is a deft commentary on our ailing moral state. This is music for these times, a fearless dive into the country’s soul and the man, Ry Cooder. For nearly 50 years, the immense scope and influence of Ry Cooder's music has perhaps been felt as much, or more than heard. As musician, producer, songwriter and sage, the Santa Monica, California native has explored music and culture from across the city, the state, the country and around the world. Over the years, Ry Cooder has received various awards and accolades such as: 2017 - BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards- Lifetime achievement 2007 – Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award Instrumentalist 2003 Grammy Award (Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album) – Buenos Hermanos, 2003 Grammy Award (Best Pop Instrumental Album) – Mambo Sinuendo 1997 Grammy Award (Best Tropical Latin Performance) – Buena Vista Social Club 1994 Grammy Award (Best World Music Album) – Talking Timbuktu with Ali Farka Toure 1993 Grammy Award (Best World Music Album) – A Meeting by the River 1988 Grammy Award (Best Recording for Children) – Pecos Bill The Prodigal Son Track Listing 1. straight street 2. shrinking man 3. gentrification 4. everybody ought to treat a stranger right 5. the prodigal son 6. nobody’s fault but mine 7. you must unload 8. i’ll be rested when the roll is called 9. harbor of love 10. jesus and woody 11. in his care
