About this album
Boomer’s Story is one of Ry Cooder’s finest early albums, a rootsy blend of blues, country and old-time American song that shows his gifts as both guitarist and interpreter. Issued in 1972, it follows his self-titled debut and deepens the approach he was refining in the early 1970s: searching through pre-rock material, traditional sources and revived standards with exacting taste. Cooder’s slide guitar and nimble picking give the record its character, while his arrangements turn songs such as Dark End of the Street and Maria Elena into vivid, contemporary performances. It stands as an elegant example of his role in reviving American roots music for a new audience.
