With this quick-and-dirty editorial, Ry Cooder has produced some timely listening material for the months preceding the U.S. election. He?s singing to the choir: those who have as little control over their situation as the poor dog Mitt Romney once placed on top of his car while driving on a family vacation (the hapless pooch narrates Mutt Romney Blues). The loosely banged-out country, blues and rock are expected, but the blunt and journalistic approach ? in the strategically-timed style of Neil Young?s Living With War and Steve Earle?s The Revolution Starts Now ? is less so. It?s a fine album that walks a cathartic line between nasty and poignant, keeping alive the roll Cooder has been on since he released Chavez Ravine in 2005.
