Review
L.A. native Ry Cooder stops traveling the world and returns home with this LP about the non-Hollywood L.A. he grew up in -- a stew of rockabilly, mambo, beatnik jazz, TV dreamlands and harsh social realities. Cinematic and evocative, this is a theme album about the destruction of the community that was thrown out of Chavez Ravine to make way for Dodger Stadium.
