On his third album, as on his previous recordings, Ry Cooder presents the result of a musical treasure hunt that is also a journey through time. Boomer's Story (1972) looks to masters like Sleepy John Estes and Skip James, but also to younger, lost and neglected pieces of American folk and blues. Episode 6 of the podcast also introduces many Cooder sessions from 1972-73.
This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes. In all cases, without exception, we believe this is protected by fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the U.K. and EEA, and similar exceptions in the copyright laws of other nations. No more of the original than necessary is used, and excerpts are edited into long-form narratives, making the use transformative in nature.
